Description kolAflash 2018-03-02 12:52:31 UTC 
Enable:
Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Navigation -> Open archives as folder

Then open an password protected archive and Dolphin won't ask you for a password when clicking on a file inside the archive.

Example:
  echo hello > hello.txt
  zip -e test.zip hello.txt
  # password: pw
Then open the archive in Dolphin and open hello.txt. hello.txt will show up in Kate (or another editor), but it's content will be encrypted. (you'll see some gibberish)

Possible solutions:
- let Dolphin ask for the password
- open the default ZIP program (e.g. Ark) if it's too difficult to handle this in dolphin

Maybe this is more a KIO bug than Dolphin. But I don't know.
Maybe related: bug 101830 - password not asked for when opening an encrypted zip file

Tested with:
- openSUSE Tumbleweed 2018-02-27 KDE x86_64 LiveCD (Dolphin 17.12.2, KDE 5.12.1)
- openSUSE 42.3 x86_64 (Dolphin 17.04.2, KDE 5.8.7)

Re-assigning to kio-extras where the archive KIO (zip:/ URLs) lives
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-03-02 13:04:21 UTC 
Just checked the archive KIO, it seems KArchive does not support encrypted/password-protected archives at all. Re-assigning there.
