7z...Ubuntu...Encryption...Help

[Daezver01]

Just switched from Windows to Linux. All my passwords (100+ Char.) are in encrypted 7z files. Turns out that p7zip doesn't work with encrypted files.

 

F***.

 

Help?

Apparently, you can install p7zip-full and unzip password protected 7z files using the following command.

7z x archive.zip -ppassword

In the future, I would recommend not storing passwords inside of password protected archive formats. If you must write your passwords down, there are password manager for this.

For future reference you can also install p7zip and Ark( It is a KDE Package ), It supports password protected Archives.
