IOS 14.2 can't open password protected excel files in NOTES..need to open in OFFICE

[RWR]

When you enter the password it states "Decryption Failure". You now need to hit the box with the up arrow and open in "Office". This was not the case previously.

It makes sense to me that a password protected Excel file won't open in Notes. It's a spreadsheet. Open it in Excel (i.e., Office).

Same issue with Google’s Drive app. Before 14.2 it could open password protected Excel files but now errors with Decryption Failure. Password protected Word files still work correctly.
