Caution
LibreOffice uses a very strong encryption mechanism that makes it almost
impossible to recover the contents of a document if you lose or forget the password.
Changing password
When a document is password-protected, you can change the password while the document is
open. Go to File > Properties > General on the main menu bar and click the Change Password
button in the Properties dialog. This opens the Set Password dialog where you can enter a new
password.
Saving documents automatically
LibreOffice can save files automatically, which is part of the AutoRecovery feature included in
LibreOffice. Automatic saving, like manual saving, overwrites the last saved state of the file. To set
up automatic file saving:
1) Go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > General on the main menu bar.
2) Select Save AutoRecovery information every and set the time interval.
3) Click OK.
