I have a usb drive I want to take with me but I want to add a password for basic safety reasons, & it needs to be readable by many computers. Any recommendations?

I always use veracrypt for stuff like this. You can encrypt a whole device or partition. It will appear like random data without veracrypt and your password.

You can have a second unencrypted partition with veracrypt portable or installers on it, but this is theoretically a security risk.
