Description: I was concerned to discover that one of my Writer files that is password protected opened today without requiring me to enter its password. I am 100% certain I didn’t remove it manually. I’m wondering if it was auto-recovered and if that triggered this? Is this a bug or has anyone else experienced this? I have a Dell desktop running Windows 10. When I posted this on the LibreOffice forum I was told that auto-recovery should not remove a password. I have been using software for decades (and have worked in IT) and know that I would have had to do Save As to be able to remove the password. I typically save my file as I work with Ctrl-S. I can't see how I could have accidentally removed the password. I live alone so nobody else could have done this. Based on my backups, I can see that the last password protected file was on 12/6. The 12/27 version had the password removed (sharing in case you made any updates during this time). I hope that it was somehow a user error though I can't see how I could have done this. I want to ensure that the file in question is for my eyes only. Sharing in case anyone else reports this same behavior. Thanks. Actual Results: I'm not sure how you can do this. Expected Results: I would expect password to remain until a user selects Save As and unticks the Save with password link. Reproducible: Didn't try User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Not removed the password! :) Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 56f7684011345957bbf33a7ee678afaf4d2ba333 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Connie, thank you for reporting he bug. Without some steps to reproduce it will hardly possible to confirm the bug. Looking at meta bug 108941, I could only find similar bug 71281. but don't know, if this helps.
I realize this would be hard to duplicate. I've only ever had it happen once. I don't know that it changes any of your testing but the file that had this issue is in a Word 2007 format. Hopefully I'll never have this issue again but if I do see it, I'll report it. Thanks, Connie
