Just having a password set on your PC in Windows 11 isn’t a sure way to stop hackers from physically gaining access to your PC — yes, it can be bypassed. But there is another security measure you can take.
For an extra layer of protection, you can turn a humble USB drive into a secure key that will lock and unlock your PC, making it much harder for intruders to gain access. Here’s how…
What to do…
Windows 11 has a facility to set up a secure USB key. But I prefer to use the free third-party app USB Raptor, which gives me a little more control over how my key works.
- Get a USB flash drive without any files loaded on it. I’m using the SanDisk 16GB Ultra Fit, which cost me $9 on Amazon.
- Download and install USB Raptor and launch the app. It will launch in configuration mode with three steps to complete to set up your secure key.
- Step 1: Choose an encryption password and write it down somewhere so you don’t forget it.
- Step 2: Plug in your USB flash drive and choose the correct drive letter it was allocated. Now click Create k3y file.
- Step 3: Before you enable USB Raptor, you’ll want to create a backdoor login in case you lose your key.
