Hi there,

Whenever you password protect a zip file (doesn't matter the method), whenever you open up the zip file, it won't prompt you for a password (unlike with any other password protected file), but when you unzip or try to open a file in the zip file, it will prompt you for a password.

Hope this is helpful,
Kind Regards
