7zip does not prompt for password protected zip and rar
files. password protected zip and rar comes up empty
and will extract nothing. 7zip does however, prompt for
password for a protected 7zip file...please fix this thanx!

I am trying to open a password protected .zip file. WinZip seems to extract the files from the archive fine, but when I try to open it with 7-zip, the .txt files that are extracted don't contain anything. I do get the prompt and enter the password, it just doesn't work.

Would you consider increasing the priority for this bug? I like using 7-zip and have gotten my co-workers to switch over because it's so fast and has a nice clean interface. This one single problem means that I have to keep WinZip on my computer.

Thanks for your consideration, and thanks for all your work on this project.
