When you Save the document for the first time you must check the "Save with
password" box under "Automatic file name extension". If you already created
the document then you need to choose Save As and then select the "Save with
password" option and overwrite the original file. From now on the document
is always saved with the password you selected unless you deliberately
uncheck the "Save with password" option.

Hope this helps.

As has already been explained, when you use File | Save As..., tick the "Save with password" box at the bottom of the Save As dialogue.

Note that it is possible to save with a password only if you are saving in LibreOffice's native Open Document Format formats, such as .odt. .ods, .odp, and so on. This won't work if you are using, say, Microsoft Office file formats.

I trust this helps.

I thought that passwords were broken in the current release.... I was unable to open my existing password protected documents with the latest release. Removed it and installed a previous version. So, if you cannot make it work, try a previous version.

Aaargh! Apologies if I missed that.

Just back-up one release or try the latest development build, hopefully they have fixed it in dev already.
