Not just a pop-up. All the security stuff would have to be added too, and the developers have made it abundantly clear that they do not want to do that when a huge development effort would be required to do it right. From the rest of this thread you can see that no size fits all anyway. They are

It is not true that password on a zip is very weak. It really depends on the type of algorithm you have selected to encrypt it with when you password protect it. While I am in agreement that GnuCash is a financial tool, not a security tool, I don't think security should be overlooked. To be hon

That said, if you use the SQL backend with a server, i.e. mariadb/mysql or Postgres, you get password protection and database locking with much less latency than any file-sharing mashup provides. You do need to learn about the care and feeding of the server including ensuring that it’s secure if
