5. Working with Carry it Easy
5.1. Security Settings
Depending on your storage device, Carry it Easy uses two different types of security
settings. The security settings that are hardware based or software encryption based
depend on your devices capabilities. For some USB Flash Drives hardware based
security settings are available. For other storage devices software encryption is used
to protect your data.
5.1.1. Hardware based password protection & partitioning
(for some USB Flash Drives)
When using Carry it Easy for the first time, we recommend that you set the security
settings for your USB Drive to password protection.
There are two windows, where the security settings can be changed.
In the main application window, by selecting the “Security Settings” option or in the
login window if you already have set a password and want to change it there.
To set a password select in the main “Security Settings” window the option
“Password protect my data” and enter a password as well as the password
confirmation and the password reminder, and then click the “Apply” button.
Changing your existing password is also done in this window, by selecting the
option “Change password”. In order to be able to change the password you have to
give your old password and enter the new password with the password confirmation
and the new password reminder followed by clicking the “Apply” button.
If no password protection is required and you already have password protection
enabled, you have to select the “No password protection is required” option and give
your old password and click the “Apply” button.
