No document password protection - Martin Turner--2008

Excel's password protection is a chimera — something which has fooled many users into believing they have secured their document.
Essentially, all that Excel password protection does is prevent you from opening he document in Excel - it does not encrypt the file, meaning that you can very easily view it in some other application.
Numbers is (imho) quite right not to include this 'feature'. MacUsers can encrypt files using zip or put them onto the FileVault, but the false sense of security put out by Excel's password function is something that does not belong in this product.
