Encryption software for WD Passport external drive

Hello,

I just got a WD Passport 4TB external drive. Do you know of an encryption software i can use? I tried BitLock but it doesn’t seem to work.

Thank you!

Scott

Hi, The encryption comes with the Passport. Use WD Security, but be careful because it requires a password and if you forget the password you have to erase the drive and start over! Best bet is to have the same files available elsewhere.
