Need to remove a password from an iWork document? Do you find it inconvenient to open password-protected Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents? Do you no longer need password protection on a particular iWork file? You’re certainly not alone in that regard, and fortunately it’s quite simple to remove a password from any Pages, Numbers, or Keynote file, making them easy to open and removing the encryption from the files.

 

Sure, adding a password to your iWork documents protects it from prying eyes. But, this security comes at the cost of convenience. Not everyone would want to type the document password every time they want to simply open and view the content. Optional Face ID authentication does address this issue to an extent, but you can’t really use Face ID on your Macs, can you? Hence, some users may wish to remove the password completely as long as they’re not sharing the files with anyone.

Thanks for the info, Funny that you have to select ‘Change password’ to remove it. Not the best phrasing!

Interesting. Trying to make it more secure makes it less in the long run

This seems like such an old-school way to protect documents anyway. There has to be a better way.
