How Do I Password Protect Email Attachments?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- ⚠️ Some documents are sensitive enough to warrant encryption to password protect email attachments. I'll look at some of the alternatives, from complex to easy.
⚠️ In Short:
Rather than having your email program encrypt the attachment, add a password and encrypt the document before attaching it. Tools like 7-Zip using “zip” format are both secure and ubiquitous, making it easy for your recipient to extract the contents, assuming they have the password. There are more complex solutions, more common in corporate situations. Another approach is to use a ProtonMail account, which handles encryption well.

Keeping prying eyes out with encryption may protect valuable documents, but it adds some complexity to sending an email.
