How to Put a Password on Excel File

Excel files contain sensitive information that needs to be protected from unauthorized access. Adding a password to an Excel file is a simple yet effective way to secure your data. Follow these steps to put a password on an Excel file:

1. Open the Excel file you want to password protect.
2. Click on 'File' in the top left corner of the Excel window.
3. Click on 'Info' and then select 'Protect Workbook'.
4. Choose 'Encrypt with Password'.
5. Enter your desired password and click 'OK'.
6. Re-enter the password to confirm.
7. Save the file to apply the password protection.

Now, whenever someone tries to open the Excel file, they will be prompted to enter the password you set. Make sure to use a strong password that is difficult to guess but easy for you to remember.
