Bug ID: 158934
Summary: Password removed from Writer file on its own
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
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! :)
