            Bug ID: 141922
           Summary: Back up File not Password Protected using Windows 10
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Description:
Used Windows 10  "BU and Restore" to B/U Confidential Files to external Drive.
Discovered I could plug the external drive into another(wife's) computer and
OPEN any file (Read Only) without requiring to use the Password which was saved
with the file.
I was able to view/print/E Mail confidential information.
"File History" was enabled on Windows Back up and Restore could view them all.
The password seems only to prevent data destruction. Could be a MS problem ..I
let them know also . (Note I did not try to "Restore" the files just clicked on
them in "File History" on the external drive ..... CANT BE INTENTIONAL COULD
IT?   Walter


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Back up Documents (Calc) to External Device use Windows 10 B/U and Restore
with File History Set to ON
2.Look for a Password Protected file on the external device
3.Click on it don't be surprised if it opens!

Actual Results:
Mine opened in Read Only

Expected Results:
I expected to still require the password


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Just Opened .. could see all the Data. Also could alter the settings to allow
changes.. couldn't overwrite the original file... that's all
