strange password management in WinAce

Post by Lifeforce »

Hi,

i heard that password protected WinRar archives can be extracted with a old beta WinRar 2.x version, so i started using also WinAce in combination with WinRar which is believed to have a better security protection. But its weird what i found out now. A WinAce password protected SFX archive v2.61 (latest) behaves somehow strange. When i extract it on test purpose, it asks for the password.When its prompts "use current password" i click "No" and enter a wrong password and it starts unpacking the archive!

How can that be :shock: ? Am i so stupid :x ?

best regards
LiFe
