When extracting encrypted files, it is not necessary to enter the password before starting the operation, though you may do so. Unlike other ways such password is valid only for the single archiving operation and automatically removed after its completion.

You do not need to remove a password if you entered it directly in Archive name and parameters dialog. In this mode the icon of key in WinRAR status bar is not displayed. If you enabled "Use for all archives" option in password dialog and entered the empty string as a password, extract and test commands will skip all encrypted files and archives. Also, when you start an archive operation using a password, title bar of Archive name and parameters dialog flashes twice. While a password exists, the icon of key is red, otherwise it will be yellow. To remove a password, enter an empty string instead of a password or close WinRAR and start it again.

Files in non-solid RAR archives without name encryption and in ZIP archives can use different passwords.ĭo not forget to remove an entered password, when it is no longer needed, otherwise you may occasionally archive some files using the password without wishing to. Solid RAR archives and archives with encrypted file names can have only one same password for all archived files. Without a password it is impossible to view even the list of files in archive encrypted in such mode. If you wish to do it, you need to set "Encrypt file names" option in the password dialog or in the command line mode use the switch -hp instead of -p. Unlike ZIP, RAR format allows to encrypt not only file data, but also other sensitive archive areas: file names, sizes, attributes, comments and other blocks. To enter a password in Archive name and parameters dialog press "Set password" button in "Advanced" set of options. In WinRAR shell, to enter a password you may either press Ctrl+P or select the "Set default password" command in File menu or click on the small icon of a key in the bottom left corner of the WinRAR window.
In the command line this is done by using switch -p. To encrypt files you need to specify a password before archiving or directly in the Archive name and parameters dialog. Both RAR and ZIP formats support encryption.
