Question

I have a USB drive encrypted with BitLocker Drive Encryption. Each time I insert the drive in my USB port it works as expected, requires me to enter the password.

Maybe I have the BitLocker Drive Encryption configured wrong or something not sure but, after inserting the USB drive and entering my password I can go to a completely different PC with a different network ID etc on the same network I'm able to see everything on my thumb drive. Not only can I see everything from other PCs I can write to it delete etc. I thought it would have required me to enter my password when I mapped to it from a different PC.

Can anyone explain why other PCs can map to my encrypted drive and have full access to everything?
