Unfortunately, you cannot convert a USB stick into a key with board means, you have to use the Rohos Logon Key instead. If you then remove the USB stick, the Mac is automatically placed in the Rohos lock dialog.

1. Download the Rohos Logon Key and install the tool.
2. Start the software and select "Add USB key" from the system bar or in the program "USB key setup".
3. Click on your USB stick and then on the button "Select the USB stick".
4. If you now switch on the backup in the program and later remove the USB stick, your Mac will automatically be locked with a black screen. You can only read "Insert USB Key".

• The program is a 15-day trial version, the full version is available on the manufacturer's website for around 25 euros.
