USB Lockit: Secure your USB flash drive in Windows 11 and 10

Protecting your USB flash drives from unauthorized access is always a wise idea. Everyone puts a password on their Windows PC, but nobody cares about the password on their USB flash drive. A password is the most effective way to secure your USB drive, in my opinion. Whenever you use a third-party computer, you should protect your USB flash drives with passwords.

USB Lockit is a freeware tool that lets you protect your USB flash drives with a secured password. It is available free of charge for both Windows 11/10 and Android operating systems. The only cache is that it supports only FAT32/exFAT formatted USB flash drive. This software does not support NTFS formatted USB flash drives.

USB Lockit is a portable tool, which means you can use it anywhere without installing it on your computer. One should note that it only uses a PIN to secure the USB flash drive, not use any form of encryption, which means it will not protect you from hackers. This means it will not protect you from hackers, but it is more than good enough for normal users.
