Password protected Excel

Copper Contributor

I have shared an Excel doc, which is password protected, via an Approval flow on Sharepoint. Since the doc is password protected, my colleague was prompted to open the doc via the desktop app. Once she selects for it to open in the desktop app, the desktop app opens and nothing else happens...it doesn't prompt for the password. Office was reinstalled but it made no difference. Nothing happens. I have sent the same file via an Approval flow to someone else to check if they can open it, and they could.

You advice would be appreciated.
