Line 141: − In LibreOffice just go to File --> Save As and tick the ''Save with password'' option on bottom left corner. It works with ''.odt'' files but can not work with ''.doc'' files as the algorithm used to password protect those files are proprietary, and cannot be legally used. − + + + + + + + + + + + +

* If you’re currently using LibreOffice want to learn how to save file securely with passwords, continue below to learn how. Password protecting a document restricts who can open, read or edit it. Anyone who tries to open it without the proper credential will be denied access. However, because LibreOffice uses a very strong encryption algorithm that makes it almost impossible to bypass, losing or forgetting your password will also deny you access to it.<br>
* You can only change your password while the document is opened. If you can’t open it with the correct password, you’ll probably never be able to open that document again. To change your password, click on '''File –> Properties –> General''', then on the menu bar, click the '''Change Password''' button in the dialog box.<br/>
* To get started with protecting your documents, open or create a new document then go to '''File –> Save'''. On the Save dialog box, check the box at the bottom left to '''Save with password.'''<br/>

* Next, type and confirm the password that will open the document. When you’re done, click '''OK'''.<br/>

* Make sure to remember the password as it will be highly impossible to open the document without the correct password. If you even to open with M$ Word, you’ll get the error message below.<br/>

* So, that’s how to protect documents using LibreOffice. If you want the file to be read-only, click ‘More Option’ and create a second password that will allow the file to be changed or modified by users with the correct second password.<br/>
