Default Flash drive password

Hey everyone,
I have a simple 4Gb flash drive that I found laying around. I'm in the Military and we use our ID cards to log on to the computers. We have to insert it and use a password. Is there any way I could use my flash drive as a password to say, log on to windows or ideally, use it to log onto password requiring websites? I would assume I'd have to use software that could work with my browser but all I could find was software to log on to windows witch was not free ware. Thanks.

I've written my own scripts to do similar things with individual programs.

That prevents windows from booting with out keyfile. You still have to type in your password.
Besides that it just copies a key file that can be copied an infinite amount of times and put on any sort of disk.

Yes, and the keyfile is specific to your computer. You obviously can't use your flash drive to run someone else's computer which requires the keyfile.

Like I said, you can write up simple scripts to do anything beyond that.
