Made by Apricorn, this disk comes in the following format sizes: 16 GB, 30 GB, 60 GB, 120 GB, 240 GB, 480 GB and the powerful 1 TB unit that we trialled for this story.īy way of an example, a complete history of all personal work files + 200 ‘ripped’ music CD album files + 100 ‘ripped’ movies + every digital photograph we (the Inspect-a-Gadget elf tasked with writing this review) have ever taken comes to 187 gigabytes… so just short of ⅕ of terabyte. The Aegis Secure Key 3.0 is (by lucky coincidence) almost exactly the same size as a fish finger and it can pack a full 1 terabyte in storage. What if we could tell those old time computer operators that, by 2020, you could put 1 terabyte in your pocket on something the size (and let’s stay old school with this) a couple of ‘ cigarillos’ or perhaps we should say a single fish finger?

Some use of 64 gigabyte USB sticks happens, but for serious backup and muscle, you’re talking about investing in a terabyte drive… and although the best of them aren’t huge, most would fill up your whole pocket and then where would you put the casing and the cable and still have room for your smartphone and keys? In fact, we think it's so important that we are happy to offer a few methods for free.Since then we’ve all become used to USB ‘thumb drives’ or ‘sticks’, but the growth of the web meant that more and more data resources were downloaded online… and these units stopped being free giveaways after about 16 gigabytes anyway. Whatever you choose, Bitwarden highly recommends that you secure your vault using two-step login. There are lots of different methods for two-step login, ranging from dedicated authenticator apps to hardware security keys.

If you are unfamiliar with the basics of 2FA, check out our Field Guide. Using two-step login (also called two-factor authentication, or 2FA) to protect your Bitwarden vault prevents a malicious actor from accessing your data even if they discover your master password by requiring authentication from a secondary device when you log in.
