A key feature of IronKey’s security means that incorrect password attempts over 10, results in the hardware encryption chip self destructing.

Here are some handy hints to ensure that you aren’t the cause of your own IronKey self destructing:

• store the password in your personal account on my.ironkey.com
• securely backup your IronKey files on your PC, note though that if you lose your IronKey, you need to have another IronKey in order to access this data.
