dimbo question maybe: but how does password protection work on a usb stick? (none of my other sticks needs a password or maybe I was just unaware)

There's usually some software on the drive included that allows you to either place a container partition, which you can encrypt, or you can encrypt the entire stick.
It works well on these sticks.

The password encryption on these sticks came with a little SanDisk utility if I remember, it was not the best. Ended up just using the Windows BitLocker system, which encrypts the whole flash drive and will make you input the password for the USB before you can read or write to the contents. It can of course be formatted without password input, but atleast your data was encrypted and therefore irretrievable.
These drive USB ends get really really hot, like scorch your skin sort of hot during heavy transfers. So be warned if your drive is like this, it is normal and not a fault. Same price from Amazon (has been for a while) so if that works better for you.
