Changed from Windows to Linux. All my passwords (over 100 characters) are stored in encrypted 7z files. It turns out p7zip doesn’t handle encrypted files. Ugh. Need help?

It seems you can use p7zip-full to unzip password-protected 7z files via the provided command. In the future, avoid keeping passwords in such encrypted archives; consider using a password manager instead.

I'll reduce my passwords and jot them down.

For future use, you might also install p7zip and Ark (a KDE package). It handles password-protected archives.
