I'm on 20.04 and I'm trying to password protect a compressed file with Archive Manager and was told that there should be an "Other Options" menu at the bottom to set a password. But when I compress the file, I don't see it:

Can someone explain why I don't see it?

The right-click option "Archive" in nautilus file manager does not support creating a password protected archive anymore. Probably to keep things minimal and to the bare essentials, but one could indeed argue that this might not have been the best decision in this case.

To create password protected archives, you will need to launch Fileroller separately. It is installed by default on Ubuntu. You cannot by default do so anymore from the nautilus right-click menu indeed.
