 by MacUser.com (2008); Derik DeLong said in Login with a thumb drive:
"One of the many problems with keeping secure is that
when you use a strong password, it can be hard
to remember and annoying to input... Rohos offers
an interesting alternative... In essence, the software
allows you to create a physical key that you need
to plug into your Mac in order to unlock it. You
could even attach it to a keychain. Very clever..."

News: Rohos Logon Converts Any USB Devices into a Login Key
"...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..." Read news...

" We've covered USB key security systems before, but Rohos Logon Key looks like an interesting new player in the field for two reasons: cost and convenience. Like other USB key systems it allows you to control user logins with a USB key, but unlike other systems you don't have to use a dedicated key -- practically any USB flash drive will work..."

it works like a dream, just sit back and see the program do the login.
I think that is a very good idea! Keep me posted. We have some people here that login from their home using an ADSL-VPN connection, i was thinking of letting them use USB-keys to login as it is far better protection.

I travel a lot, and use flash drives. I can see how someone that does not
cannot see the potential for convience and security. I like it and will
buy it. Sometime you have to open your wallet for a good thing?

- completely different log on screen , but with usericon, etc.. - everything freely configurable
- alternative Logon with password possible (optional)
- configuration program mackte on my test computer rum (uses the MSIE for the interface)
- does not need to be really installed - simply to copy, exe start, to "Activte Rohos Welcome" click and already funktioniert's - the return to the normal log in screen is just as simple
- are also here completely adjustable action with the separation of the USB stick (barriers, Ausloggen, state of rest, Runterfahren)
- 50% discount for student
Thus, now after the test I find Rohos Welcome best, because one can adapt the
appearance there freely after its conceptions and it is also otherwise optically
responding. Natural Login is also not bad, but the "Keyless time" and the
missing possibility of being able to log in via normal username and password
lets it fall in the valuation strongly. DiskLogon might which for purists be, which
the Windows 2000-Design pleases. Kind of DEK Logon did not function with me.

The smartest, most feature-rich USB security login solution available
Review:
Pros: I have tried programs such as Dekart Login and Natural Login, but I have found the ideal solution in Rohos Welcome, which has the same functionality, but better implemented, and gives the user the flexibility they need to configure and personalise the application to suit their needs. For example, you can setup a custom wallpaper to appear whenever you remove the USB stick to lock your system, and add text based notices in various parts of the locked screen.
In Rohos, you have more options for what you would like to happen whenever the USB stick is removed, such as go into hibernation, which is not present in other solutions ive tried. This option is ideal for laptop users on the move who want to avoid the slow process of windows startup, whilst also saving battery life.
Rohos adds PIN security to your USB stick to stop anyone else logging in with it - yes, Dekart etc. has this, but Rohos uses a custom PIN entry keypad to let you enter the code with your mouse, rather than by keyboard, which bypasses any danger posed by any system compromised by hidden keylogging software. Even corporate windows 2-factor authentication solutions such as GemSafe GemPlus smardcard software do not offer this level of security with their PIN entry... thought has definitely gone into Rohos Welcome, and because of this, the program is more flexible, secure and stands above the competition.
For the best all-in-one USB secrity solution you should check out Rohos Desktop Security, which has all the features of Rohos Welcome, but also includes the ability to create secure, encrypted virtual disks, all integrated into the existing interface. You can buy similar products such as Dekart Private Disk, but once again Rohos has put the thought into their solution and offers excellent features such as steganography, where you can actually hide your virtual disk INSIDE another file, without altering the original files attributes so that you virtual disk is TOTALLY undetectable and only appears when you enter your USB stick!
Cons: I honestly cant think of any - I had an idea for one or two other features I would like to see in the program and mailed Rohos Support - I got a fast reply and they said they would happily look into my idea for future version, so I truly have NO complaints!

Very cool that I can use HUGE secure passwords now and not have to type

Experience a totally new way of logging onto Windows XP - using the revolutionary Rohos Welcome (version 1.2). Doubling up as a USB flash drive, automate the logon process with ease. Upon removal of the flash drive, you can configure Rohos Welcome to automatically logoff, shutdown, or hibernate the system.
Compatible with Windows 2000, Rohos Welcome changes the logon screen by following the Windows XP format. A nice touch was adding details such as the current date and time, logon time, and the addition/removal of users. This great piece of shareware is valid for a free 40-day trial period, where upon expiry, a small fee of $25/$45 (depending on the type of license) is required to keep it running. Compatible with Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 versions.

I work in a Fire Department Dispatch Centre and I pull my USB key out everytime I get a call...it's great because it locks my system for the duration of a call, but when I come back and login with my USB key, I have several MSN messages because my MSN does not not change status with pulling the key. This would be a huge feature for me if you could swing it.
I love your program and now that I know the change is coming I intend on
purchasing it.

I am running a new laptop computer Since this computer is a prime theft target, I have taken steps to make it as secure as possible when leaving it unsupervised. I keep it tethered. All my sensitive information (passwords, account numbers, etc.) is kept on a 1GB USB flash, including my Mozilla Firefox profile directory (contains autocomplete data and web page cache). I also run a file mirroring utility that mirrors critical files to my USB flash every hour, in case the drive crashes or the computer is stolen. Rohos adds security against computer tampering, since I pull the flash drive whenever I walk away from the computer.

I love this program its great to know that when you have to leave
in a hurry that your keys are attached to your computer and that you
have to pull them out to get anywere, so that means that the pc
locks anyone out unless they have the key or password...
I work at an insurance co. its hard to keep people from my personal
files so now i just lock them up with rohos welcome...
thanks guys.
you are the next generation of gurus for the pc...
