The reason why you cannot decompress password-protected 7Zip in Mac.<\/p>\n

It is due to macOS issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/br><\/p>\n

When we try to decompress file by macOS's bundled Archive Utility, <\/span>it ask password again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n

This issue is because macOS's bundled Archive Utility doesn't support specific encryption.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

With 7Z files note that macOS 10.15 Catalina's and 11.0 Big Sur bundled Archive Utility supports 7Z extraction, but does not support AES encryption.<\/p>\n
