Learn step-by-step how to add an Excel Password to a worksheet or workbook. You may have added a password for good reason, you can also remove it!

You can require a password to open a file to prevent unauthorized users from opening a workbook at all.

You can also require a password to modify a file to allow others to open the workbook but only allow authorized users to make changes to it. If someone changes the workbook without the password to modify, that person can save the workbook only by giving it a different file name.
