WinZip makes it easy to protect sensitive information. To password-protect file transfers using WinZip, just follow these steps:

1. Open WinZip: Launch WinZip on your computer.
2. Select files to Zip: In the WinZip interface, navigate to the files or folders to compress and password-protect. Drag and drop these files into the WinZip window or use the "Add" button to select them.
3. Enable encryption: Before creating the Zip file, ensure the "Encrypt" option is enabled. Depending on your version of WinZip, this can be found in the Actions pane or the Create/Share tab.
4. Set your password: Once you have added the files, a dialog box will prompt you to set a password. Enter a strong password and confirm it by entering it again. WinZip supports AES encryption with 128-bit or 256-bit strength, which you can select based on your security needs.
5. Create the Zip file: After setting the password and encryption level, click "OK" or "Save" to create the Zip file. The files will be compressed and encrypted using the password you provided.
6. Save and share: Save the encrypted Zip file to your desired location. You can now share this password-protected Zip file via email, cloud services, or any other file transfer method mentioned in the article above.
