Bitlocker USB Key on iPhone

Hello,

I have a USB-C drive for my iPhone.

I would like to protect it with a password; I applied Bitlocker protection (I'm on W11), and now it's not recognized by my iPhone.

It's probably a compatibility issue between Mac and PC.

Do you have any ideas on how to achieve what I want to do?

Thank you in advance

    Okay, thanks.

    However, are there any with 2 ports: a USB and a USB-C?

    I don't have a USB-C on my PC. The one I bought has both ports.

    Is it possible to install encryption software on the one I have that would be compatible?

    Thank you

      Hello,

      There are definitely small USB/USB C adapters and vice versa for PCs.

      The one I use ultimately cost me a lot ("given" among other things with a new car) but it shouldn't be too expensive separately.

      We can probably also "get around the issue" by zipping the files on the drive with a password, but I don't know if the phone will accept that.

    Hello,

    Of course, Bitlocker and Apple do not get along well.

    A Corsair PadLock with an adapter for the phone could possibly work.

    Some fingerprint USB drives are versatile too, can work on a USB port in cars etc., but others don’t, you need to do some research.
