On very occasions, you might need to protect your content from getting circulated elsewhere. It might contain some sensitive data or some unique idea that need to be protected. To protect your file you generally save it to a very secure location or encrypt it with the password. The latter method is the most secure one everyone knows.

Let’s say you have protected the Powerpoint project with a password, but after some span of time, you feel that the data is obsolete now and don’t want to go with the hassle of putting your password every time when you open this file.
