Read a xlsx file protected with password
See original GitHub issueHi.
I try to read a xlsx file protected with a password.
I use this syntax :
readFile('myfile.xlsx',{"password":'aaa'})
but I receive this response:
File is password-protected
How can I fix this ?
Thanks

I think that’s perfectly understandable, but in that case, the error message returned needs to be clearer, because as it stands it makes it seem like a bug where it’s not reading the provided password, rather than a limitation of the Community Edition in conjunction with the file version.
Why is this feature listed under “Parsing Options” in the documentation if it hasn’t been implemented yet? This is very confusing for users looking to use this library for protected files. https://docs.sheetjs.com/#parsing-options
