I am woundering how you protect your wallet and backup file for electrum.

Whenever I click on my wallet, it opens directly and load the wallet file. However, I assume this is not safe. So how do I set a protection or encryption on the actual wallet? And how do you keep the backup file safe? I need a encryption for that, so each time I want to open the file, I will have to type a password.

I tried 7zip but it does not do the work as I want, because it just requires you to type your password one time, and thats it. I also tried AxCrypt, which I find kind of good but I am not sure about it at all because I don't find much about it on this forum, but I've seen some reviews for it on other websites and it seems like a few people are happy about it. Just want to know what encryption to use and why.

Help is appreciated!
