Encrypting for Security

The encryption facility provided by this version of WinZip® is identical to the AES encryption provided by the Windows version of WinZip 9 or later.

To encrypt your files as they are zipped, check the Encrypt option on the Actions pane before adding files or ...

In all the above cases, once you have checked the Encrypt option, enter your password. Enter the password a second time to verify that there are no typos. Check the Show Password box to view the entered information.

Additional files added as encrypted, will reused the remembered password instead of requesting a password again. The password will be remembered for each encrypted Zip file and only the lenght of that Zip session.
