Using WinRAR to create password protected zip file So, if the file is very confidential, you better delete it after creating a password protected archive out of it.
Also note that 7-Zip doesn’t automatically delete the original after creating an archive out of it. Note that 7-Zip uses ZipCrypto as the default encryption method, but you can choose AES-256 by expanding the drop-down menu next to Encryption method under Encryption section. This zip file will appear in the same folder where your original file is located. Step 4: In order to protect it with a password, move to the Encryption section, enter a password, re-enter the same, and finally, click OK button. Step 3: Here, enter a name for your archive (or you can go with the default name), and then select archive format as Zip by clicking the drop down menu next to Archive format. Step 2: Now that 7-Zip is installed, right-click on the file that you would to create an archive and add password protection, click 7-Zip, and then click Add to archive option. If you’re not sure what to download, download the one available for 32-bit. Separate setup file available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows at the download page. As you likely know, 7-Zip is a free software. Step 1: If 7-Zip isn’t already installed, visit this page to download the same and then run the setup file to get it installed.
