I want to prevent lunching software made with angular 6 and php codeigniter if USB is not inserted into pc, if user start the software, the software should check if a usb is inserted, if true the software launches and if false, a message will pop up saying you need to insert the USB.

is there a way to detect if USB inserted using javascript or php?

I would say no. At least not without talking to the OS using the shell. – M. Eriksson Jan 24 '19 at 21:02
You might implement server-side authentication via a [U2F/FIDO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_2nd_Factor) key. – Alex Howansky Jan 24 '19 at 21:04
