Setting a password on the memory card protects all data stored on the storage media. If you lose your password-protected card, you do not have to worry about the safety of your information. To set a password, you can use specialized computer utilities or the functions of your mobile device.
It is necessary
Master Voyager, TrueCrypt or MyFolder
Instructions
Step 1
Install a program that allows you to work with the memory card. You can use the Master Voyager utility. If you want to create a specific partition on a flash drive and close it exactly, use the TrueCrypt program. And if you want to close a specific file or folder, install the MyFolder application.
Step 2
Master Voyager allows you to create not only secure flash drives, but also helps to carry out operations on USB-Flash, which do not have the ability to set a password by default. The program defines special protected areas, for access to which you will need to enter a password. The AES algorithm is used to set the password, which is the most common encryption method at the moment.
Step 3
TrueCrypt is one of the most powerful utilities for creating encrypted disks. The program supports many encryption algorithms. You can encrypt not only a flash drive, but also an entire system disk, while the system will be minimally loaded. Encryption takes place in real time, which is convenient for both the system and the user.
Step 4
MyFolder is a small and fast program that does not require installation. It works from almost any media and in just a couple of clicks allows you to deny access to any file or folder on the flash drive.
Step 5
Install the most suitable program and insert your memory card into your computer's card reader.
Step 6
Run the utility and set your password in the corresponding item of the program. Select a flash drive and click on the button for assigning a password.
Step 7
Many mobile phones in their menu have the function of setting a password - just go to the device's file manager and select the appropriate menu item.
