Device Usage

Brute-Force attack protection

Important: During login, if an incorrect password is entered, you will be given another opportunity to enter the
correct password; however, there is a built-in security feature (also known as Brute Force attack protection) that
tracks the number of failed login attempts.*
If this number reaches the pre-configured value of 10 failed password attempts, the behavior will be as follows:
Admin/User Enabled
User Password
Admin Password
One-Time Recovery Password
User-Only
Single User, Single Password
(Admin/User NOT Enabled)
User Password
* Once you authenticate to the device successfully, the failed login counter will be reset in relation to which Login
method was used. Crypto-Erase will delete all passwords, encryption keys and data –

Accessing My Secure Files

After unlocking the drive, you can access your secure files. Files are automatically encrypted and decrypted when
you save or open them on the drive. This technology gives you the convenience of working as you normally would
with a regular drive, while providing strong, "always-on" security.
Hint: You can also access your files by right clicking the IronKey Icon in the Windows taskbar and clicking Browse
