In my experience password protected files are often password protected for obscure reasons which have nothing to do with the intent of keeping them secret, like:
- prevent anti virus from messing with it
- keep to some obscure regulations wrt. Contacts or law, where is enough if you can argue the data was encrypted.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoIf you make zip files in a company, there is never a repository of passwords, because that would be insecure, ergo zip files with other passwords usually are not easy to unzip after 5-10 years when the owner is dead/gone and the passwords are lost.
