USB Installation

Optionally, you can run Password Depot via USB stick. This can be helpful if you want or need to keep your confidential documents, passwords, and other confidential information – which you manage via Password Depot – always at hand. If you would like to use Password Depot on such a removable storage device, then you will need to install it via the USB Installation function – not via the standard installation wizard!

The USB Installation Wizard (menu Tools → USB Installation) helps you to install Password Depot on removable storage devices, e.g. USB flash drives. Additionally, it lets you update both the program and your files stored on these devices.

To perform these tasks, proceed as follows:

  1. Removable drive: Select the drive of your storage device from the dropdown list. All available drives (except CD-ROM drives) are displayed.

  2. Copy/Update databases: Having selected a drive, this list displays all database files available for transfer. Check those files that you would like to copy or update. Files that are outdated on the target medium are automatically pre-selected.

  3. Update Password Depot configuration file on the target medium: If you check this option, your program settings will be transferred to the device as well.

  4. Update Autorun.inf to launch Password Depot automatically: If checked, the file autorun.inf will be created on the root directory of the target medium. This will automatically launch Password Depot as soon as you use the device.

  5. Next >>: Click this button to run the installation or upgrade. The progress is displayed on a separate page with a log. Once completed, click Finish to close the wizard.

NOTE: Certain functions that require a local installation (e.g. browser add-ons) cannot be used with the USB installation.

NOTE: When upgrading Password Depot, please first update the program on your local system!
