  • Useful for rotating passwords on shared archives.
  • Passwords are processed in memory only.

Frequently asked questions

What if I forgot the current password?

Then the file cannot be re-protected - you need the password you already have to change it. There is no way around that.

Can I also change printing restrictions?

Yes - permissions can be adjusted in the same pass.

Does the content change?

Not a byte - only the protection layer changes.
