Rohos Logon Converts Any USB Devices into a Login Key

  August 15th, 2008



WE RECOMMEND

If you've a couple of freebie flash drives whose capacities aren't enough for today's tasks, Rohos Logon for Mac can put them into good use as a login dongle. The software in a nutshell converts an ordinary USB device with on-board serial number into a security key. So, an iPod would also work. It basically types in the password for you so you could execute the safest password strategies possible, and it doesn't use up any space on the drive, meaning it can work with non-Mac compatible USB sticks. Even though the utility is already available for purchase, there are several annoying issues that need to be dealt with - namely the "Improper Removal" box popping out when pulling out the drive. Now, the million dollar question is whether it's safe to rely on a $10 device's serial number as your ultimate security solution provided by a $29 software.
