USING THE IRONKEY CONTROL PANEL (WINDOWS AND MAC)
The IronKey Control Panel is a central
location for:
» Accessing your secure les
» Launching Secure Backup software
(Windows only)
» Conguring your IronKey settings
» Changing your IronKey password
» Reformatting your IronKey
» Safely locking your device
Most of the Control Panel’s options
are located in the “Settings” menu.
NOTE: The Windows version of the
IronKey Control Panel is shown.
# Step Description
1 Creating, editing, deleting secure les When you click “Secure Files” in the IronKey Control
Panel, the default browser on your computer opens
directly to your secure volume.
All les on your IronKey are strongly encrypted with
military-grade AES encryption. Encrypting les is as simple
as moving them into the secure volume. Dragging les
onto your desktop decrypts them on-the-y in hardware.
The IronKey gives you the convenience of working as you
normally would with a regular ash drive, while providing
strong and “always-on” security.
2 Conguring your preferences Click “Settings” to congure your preferences.

You can set a device time-out to automatically lock your
IronKey after a specied period of inactivity.

You can congure your device to reset after too many
consecutive incorrect password attempts instead of self-
destructing. This allows you to continue using your device
if you forget your password.

You can install the IronKey Auto-Launch Assistant,
which automatically opens the IronKey Unlocker when you
plug in an IronKey. (Mac only)
