I want to protect a file from being opened by anyone except mywelf. I have seen in LibreOffice how to protect cells etc, but not how to create a password before the file can be opened.
Hello,
when saving a file (for the first time) tick option [x] Save with password
Note(s)
- Details of the look&feel depends on your operating system, which you didn’t mention. Thus I provided from my default OS (Linux / KDE dolphin file save dialog).
- If you want to protect an existing unprotected file, you need to perform a
Save Asusing the same name (overwrite) to get the option displayed. - Changing the password also works via
Save Asusing the same name (overwrite) and providing a new password

Possibly useful to note that not all file types can be protected. CSV can’t.
