The manual states that "If Secure Key isn’t frequently used, plug device into a powered USB port for 90 minutes every 90 days to maintain optimum battery performance." I have had good experiences with my device and there have been no battery-related issues. **Q: Does this support a self-destruct pin?** A: By default, the Self-Destruct feature is disabled. To allow the Secure Key to be set with a Self-Destruct PIN, Enter the Admin mode. Answer is yes. **Q: how is the usb personal security device used with online banking** A: The Secure Key is a thumb-drive that has internal security features. However, it's still functions like any thumb-drive. You can save things from your device onto the Secure Key or you can copy something from your Secure Key and save it, or sent it someplace else. I don't imagine the your information would be secure while it's being transferred. I hope this helps. **Q: Will the device experience data loss if the battery is fully discharged for a long period of time?** A: It does not under normal circumstances. It charges its battery when you plug it into live USB, but the memory itself is non-volatile and doesn't need battery to keep its data. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***T on October 4, 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***R on January 4, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***R on December 23, 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Apricorn ASK3-NX 8GB USB 3.1 Encrypted Secure Drive (ASK3-NX-8GB) - JSAUX USB Data Blocker & USB C Data Blocker (4-Pack), Transparent Type A & Type C Data Blocker Only for Charge, Protect Against Juice Jacking, Refuse Hacking Provide Safe Charging --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/93863676-apricorn-ask3-nx-8gb-usb-3-1-encrypted-secure-drive](https://www.desertcart.it/products/93863676-apricorn-ask3-nx-8gb-usb-3-1-encrypted-secure-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
