Password-protecting a ZIP archive involves adding a password to the archive to secure its contents. This ensures that only individuals with the correct password can extract or access the files within the ZIP archive. This password acts as a form of encryption, preventing unauthorized access to the files stored in the archive. To extract files from a password-protected ZIP archive, users must enter the correct password.
