The Encrypt dialog allows you to specify a password and encryption method when
encrypting files. The dialog is displayed
when files are being added to an archive and you have checked the Encrypt
added files check box in the Add dialog, or
when you choose Encrypt from the Actions menu or from the
WinZip® shortcut menu in Windows Explorer. Note that this action encrypts or
re-encrypts all files in the Zip file. Please see
About Encryption for more
information about this action.
To begin encrypting files:
Type the desired password in the Enter password edit field
(read about passwords in the
"Notes on using encryption" section).
Tip: check the Mask password check box to
prevent the password from being displayed as you type it. If you check this
option, the dialog will require you to type the password twice for confirmation
(to avoid typographical errors in the password).
Click the desired encryption method in
the Encryption method area. (Note: this option appears for Zip
files only.)
