Protect a document with a password in Office365

Posted by jineesh uvantavida on Thursday, December 8, 2022 Under: Tips & Ideas.

Passwords are case-sensitive and can be a maximum of 15 characters long.

If you lose or forget your password, Word won't be able to recover it for you. Be sure to keep the a copy of the password in a safe place or create a strong password that you’ll remember.

For Windows :

  • Go to File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password.

  • Type a password, then type it again to confirm it.

  • Save the file to make sure the password takes effect.


Password reset for IT admins

If you're concerned about end-users in your organization losing access to password protected Office files, the DocRecrypt tool might be for you. Note that you have to deploy the DocRecrypt tool BEFORE the file in question is password protected. DocRecrypt can't retroactively recover files that were password protected before you deployed DocRecrypt. For more information see: Remove or reset file passwords using DocRecrypt.
