Does it come with password protection? I haven't had a thumb drive in a while. And I want to know if its protected by a password, as in plugging it in and a password screen open up before accessing the files.

No, this thumb drive does not include any security like that. I just shows up as a new disk in the computer when you plug it in. Kingston makes some thumb drives called DataTravelers that include security, and Corsair makes a thumb drive named the "Padlock" that has a key code on it (sort of like what you see on some Ford cars to unlock the door). Hope that helps!

These drives don't. What you need are encrypted drives. Check out the Kangaroo line of USB drives.

Not that I've seen - plug in and go. You could encrypt the files you put on it - but it does not default with protection

If you can't open the folder, then, yes it needs a password. If you do not know it, and don't need what's on it, then format it, without Encryption

No, it's just a plug and play kind of deal. When plugged in, you'll have access to your files instantly with no passwords
