Hi i want to encrypt a partition can i use 2 passwords? one created by the computer and one create by me i would like to store a password file on a usb stick and the second password in my mind thanks
Technically no. You have some options though, which might function the same. Would a keyfile, which is required to be present, PLUS then you add the password to gain access work for you? The USB would have what is referred to as a key file on it. To mount the encrypted partition you MUST have both the keyfile and know the correct password.
yes in short a password created by me plus a keyfile on an usb stick i using truectrypt , maybe veracrypt or diskcryptor could do it i mean this http://i.imgur.com/djpt7e5.png http://i.imgur.com/9pGMTQO.png http://i.imgur.com/9pGMTQO.png
"Technically no" - because a keyfile plus a password is not technically two passwords! Semantics? For non-system portable disks I use VeraCrypt because I want and feel like I need hidden volume technology. My archived externals are rotated among many off premises pieces of hardware. I can't be absolutely certain if one of those pieces of hardware would be discovered by an adversary. I have a bailout plan whereby I have installed some amazing quality decoy volumes on those platters. Off premises hardware covers me for fire, theft, adversarial confiscation of on premises hardware. I don't want a major debate on TC vs VC here. They are both fine and as some know I used and compiled modified TC code for years. Header hardening on the product I use is simply an improvement over the older code. My system disks are all Linux and for those I use LUKS (DmCrypt) for encryption.
