WD Passport Lite Password-able? 2013 or older

WD External Drives WD Portable Drives
1

I have two WD Passport external drives from years ago that I use for back up of my back up.
After a beer spill on laptop keyboard last night…first time ever…my computer is back up and running.
I am now backing up everything again. Last back up on this device was 2013.

It’s working. I have reloaded the WD 3200BEV External USB Device through cut and paste. Files open etc…

I am looking for the interface to use with it. Is there one to download? I am especially interested in password protecting it! Can I do it and how can I do it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for your help.

Please post the exact model number of the drive. “WD Passport” is just too general to know what features are available.

Ooops, sorry, I didn’t notice your reply in my watchlist! No, I don’t think either of those support WD security since that software isn’t in the “Downloads” section of their respective support pages.

However, you could always download WD security and see if it recognizes those drives, and if not, just uninstall it.
