Make your system more secure with external hard drive password software

If you want to protect your hard drive from unauthorized access with a password, there’s no other way to do it but to encrypt the entire drive. Encrypting a drive is a great way to protect its contents from getting accessed by anyone other than you but you should not lose the password because you might end up losing the entire drive’s contents.

One application that will help you do this is TrueCrypt. Though according to its official website, TrueCrypt is no longer secure since they already stopped its further development, however, this may not actually be the case for TrueCrypt 7.1a which was the version released prior to the last one. TrueCrypt supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10 as well as Linux.

TrueCrypt supports the following encryption algorithms:

• Twofish
• Serpent
• AES
