"Locky Memory": A USB stick that protects your important data via a numeric password

locky_memory

The USB stick with the built-in Post-It pad from Japan was weird but this one looks quite useful. A Japanese company called Rinso Do [JP] is now selling a USB stick that comes with a  numeric keypad that allows users to set a password to prevent data theft.

It’s impossible to access the data stored in the stick without typing in the 10-digit password first, which is not a dumb idea. Rinso Do offers sticks with 4GB, 8GB and 16GB storage.

Non-Japanese people interested in getting the stick should ask Rinkya, Gizmine or The Japan Trend Shop to list it as Rinso Do itself will most likely never sell it outside Nippon.
