> For example to disconnect the drive one needs to enter admin's password. That's done because veracrypt doesn't store it.

What? For me, VeraCrypt can mount and unmount volumes (on Windows 11) without ever prompting for UAC. It could also do the same on my other, Windows 10 PC.



On Ubuntu it requires admin pas on every action. Like mount/unmount. On truecrypt it's on click. Sadly they are not compatible. Not sure, did veracrypt pass external audit like truecrypt?

I believe they incorporated the recommendations from TrueCrypt's own audit, and then went through an additional external audit that came up clean.
