Creating a Password Protected Zip File

If you want to safeguard your files or communications, creating a password-protected ZIP archive is a simple yet effective way to add an extra layer of security. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the File Explorer on your computer.
  2. Locate the file or folder you want to compress and password protect.
  3. Right-click on the file or folder, hover over 'Send to', then click on 'Compressed (zipped) folder'.
  4. Once the ZIP file is created, double-click on it.
  5. In the top menu, click on 'File' and then select 'Add a password'.
  6. Enter your desired password and confirm it. Click 'OK'.
  7. Your ZIP file is now password protected!

Remember to use a strong, unique password to enhance the security of your files. Avoid using easily guessable passwords such as '123456' or 'password'.
