[QUOTE="MrMr, post: 1036703, member: 100539"] If you want to encrypt it for your "nosy-neighbor" using windows or default encryption is fine. I would advice using USB as a key method because even if its "old fashion", USB gone? Device not booting. For external devices you can have auto unlock enabled because they're not getting into your main OS anyway. If you want more privacy on your HDDs then Veracrypt is a solid solution. That's encrypt and good luck decrypting it even with a Quantum Computer but it's less easy to use (still not hard), TPM not required, I'd even avoid it. USB encryption is, like SSD, a hit and miss because manufacturers don't use default read and write (this explains a little about TRIM when enabled but there are more issues [URL="https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Trim%20Operation.html"]VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid[/URL]. ) However an encrypted SSD is significally harder to access than an one that is not encrypted. Do not use Biometrics on android, it's a nightmare. A 6 digit code is more secure at this point in time but there are a lot of people that are for Biometrics. Imo they fail to keep you secure too often.. I personally do not like bitwarden but that's personal preference, I rather have my own database with keepass. [/QUOTE]
