WinRAR encrypted compressed package is a way to encrypt files, but WinRAR actually has three encryption methods. I don’t know if you are clear about it. Today I will share these three WinRAR encryption methods with you.
WinRAR - Encryption
The simplest WinRAR encryption method, encrypts files when compressing them. Open WinRAR, select the file to encrypt, click Set Password in the settings interface – enter the password to complete the encryption.
WinRAR - organize passwords
In the above encryption method, in the password input interface, I wonder if you have noticed the password sorting function below. This is the second encryption method I want to talk about. We click to enter the password sorting interface. Here add the password we will use frequently in the future. After adding it, click OK below to complete the setting.
After the setting is completed, when we encrypt the file according to the first encryption method, click the drop-down button of the password input box to see the password we set before. Select the password you want to encrypt to complete the encryption.
WinRAR - automatic encryption
Both of the above methods require us to enter the password setting interface manually or select a password for encryption. In addition, we can also set WinRAR's automatic encryption, so that we can also encrypt files when we compress files normally. The setting method is as follows:
After opening WinRAR, click Options in the toolbar – Settings
Then click Path in the settings interface – Create default configuration
Click Set Password – Enter the password to be used for automatic encryption and click OK to complete the setting. After that, we only need to compress the file normally. WinRAR has automatically added a password to the file.
The above is the WinRAR encrypted compressed package method, I hope it can help everyone~
Because WinRAR does not provide a password retrieval function, if we forget the password, we can only try the password we have used. Of course, if we use the password sorting function for encryption, we only need to check the passwords in the password sorting function and try them in sequence. That's it. But for encryption carried out by other methods, we can only try some simple passwords or use tools to help us retrieve the password, such as Okafeng RAR Decryption Master , four methods support retrieving the password of the rar compressed package
