This is now part of KDE since Plasma 5.11.
You cannot necessarily create or password protect folder directly by right clicking on a folder in Dolphin.
There is a 3 step process but it is dangerously secure. here is some help
- Create a Vault using the Applet
- It is usually part of the default panel
- Never forget the password or you are hosed!
- Now the folder Vaults will appear in /Home
- Create folders inside of there.
- Open and close it from the vault icon.
- Linking to vaults is handy.
- for example you want studentRecords to be encrypted.
- Create the Vault and the studentRecords folder in the vault
- Link to it so that it is visible from Home
ln -s path/to/real/thing nameOfLink
