Often someone complains that the traditional Windows logon authentication way using password is not convenient enough (especially for those PCs set up with a very complex login password), and its security is not high enough. This case, you can try Rohos Logon Key this useful tool from Moldova. It is capable of using a USB flash drive for system logon authentication. That’s to say, you don’t have to login Windows when it boos by inputting your password, instead, that just needs you to insert the specified USB drive.

Rohos Logon Key uses two-factor authentication method, which can convert any USB storage device into a security token/ login key for your computer, and then allows you to login your operation system with this USB key – a more convenient and secure way than the common Windows password logon. It is a good choice for a Windows system with high security requirements.

The effect of Rohos Logon Key is the same with password, and it allows you to choose either way at the time of logining system. In other words, when the USB key is not in your hand, the traditional password login means works well as usual. Also, the USB drive serving as a security key can still be used to store data normally.
