PORTABLE VERACRYPT - NO INSTALLATION REQUIRED!
|
||||
======================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Inside the "VeraCrypt" folder on this device:
|
||||
|
||||
• VeraCrypt-Portable-Windows.exe
|
||||
→ Double-click to run on ANY Windows PC
|
||||
→ Works without admin rights on most systems
|
||||
|
||||
• VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux.AppImage
|
||||
→ Run on ANY Linux system (no install!)
|
||||
→ Command: ./VeraCrypt-Portable-Linux.AppImage
|
||||
→ AppImage = portable, works on all Linux distributions
|
||||
|
||||
• veracrypt-Ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb
|
||||
→ System-wide installer for Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
→ Install with: sudo dpkg -i veracrypt-Ubuntu-22.04-amd64.deb
|
||||
→ Use this if you prefer installed version over AppImage
|
||||
|
||||
• VeraCrypt-MacOS.dmg
|
||||
→ Install on Mac (one-time)
|
||||
→ Works on any Mac after that
|
||||
|
||||
This means you can access your encrypted files on ANY computer
|
||||
even if VeraCrypt is not installed!
|
||||
|
||||
======================================================================
|
||||
YOUR PASSWORD
|
||||
======================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
⚠ There is NO password recovery! If you forget it, data is GONE.
|
||||
|
||||
Password details:
|
||||
• Case-sensitive (Abc123 ≠ abc123)
|
||||
• Minimum 20 characters recommended
|
||||
• Mix of letters, numbers, symbols
|
||||
• Write it down and keep it SAFE (not on this device!)
|
||||
|
||||
If you set a PIM value:
|
||||
• Standard setup: PIM = 2000
|
||||
• Paranoid setup: PIM = 5000
|
||||
• VeraCrypt will ask for this when mounting

||||

||||
|
||||
⚠ The password is the ONLY key

||||
⚠ No backdoors, no recovery, no "forgot password" option
|
||||
⚠ Keep password safe but separate from this device
|
||||
|
