USB Key security:

• USB Key cannot be duplicated. Logon profile is bound up with a USB flash drive serial number

  Computer owner can forbid using any other USB Key except one for login
• Protected password. By default USB Key does not contain your Windows password in plain form, but only Encryption Key pair that is used to reconstruct password for login operation
• Two-factor authentication by using PIN code for USB Key. This is a small password with only 3 attempts to enter that is required when you login by USB Key.
