No medium found with Kingston Datatravel locker+ g3

Unfortunately I can't manage to mount or format Kingston Datatravel locker+ g3 USB flash drive.

It only works on Windows for me after inputting a password.

In Arch there appears a file /dev/sdb after inserting the flash drive, but no app can access it.

lsblk output:

lsusb output:

fdisk -l doesn't list it. Also any attempt with cfdisk or u3-tool -u results in:

cfdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found

and

Error opening device: No medium found

Is there a way to hack it or is it a doom?
