How to Duplicate a CipherGuard

You can create a duplicate CipherGuard without the original CipherGuard present. A duplicate CipherGuard is useful in case you lose your primary one. You may also want a duplicate CipherGuard if more than one person needs access to the encrypted drive on your computer.


1) Plug in a Brand New CipherGuard

Only new, unprogrammed CipherGuards can be used for duplication. The original CipherGuard must also have a recovery passphrase associated with it.


2) Open the CipherGuard Manager

Located under Start > All Programs > CipherGuard > CipherGuard Manager.


3) Enter the Recovery Passphrase

Under the "Duplicate Key" tab (the only accessible tab), enter the recovery passphrase you specified when setting up your original CipherGuard. Re-type the passphrase in the second box and click "Duplicate".
