Hello,

I am currently using the SharpCompress library for compressing files into ZIP archives. However, I need to set a password on the ZIP files and it appears that there is no support for this feature directly.

Is there any way to set a password for ZIP files using SharpCompress? If not, are there any plans to add this feature in the future?

Password support is definitely needed. This gets my vote for all zip formats. I love seeing that it's under active development and hope we'll see password protection implemented.
