    +1 YES !

    The most important thing, why I use and recommend to everybody 7zip is:
    - Password protected archives not possible to crack !

    I really do not understand, why is not the default behaviour to ask for a 7z pass ?

    If not a context menu, at least the setup should contain a checkbox:
    - ask for password every time creating a new archive from the context menu.

    Also an other context option would be nice:

    Recompress with/out encryption

    If we have made an archive, but realized we have forgot to set a password, or dropped an extra file to it which contains sensitive data, it would be logical to simple re-comress with encryption by ONE CLICK.
    *(Or remove the protection from it, after received an archive and set the right password once.) *

    Inside the program:
    [ File menu ]
    ...
    CRC >
    Encryption >
    - Add password protection to archive.
    - Change / Clear archive password

    Or simply one new menu:
      **Change encryption**
    
     ... where you can set or clear or modify password and
