When attempting to protect an Excel 2013 spreadsheet or workbook with a password, Excel.exe will crash on setting up and entering the password. This is caused by Sticky Password. By adding excel.exe and excelcnv.exe to the list of ignored apps in Sticky Password, Excel works fine. This was not an issue in previous versions of MS Office. Also Word 2013 and PowerPoint 2013 do not crash nor do they need to be added to the SP ignored app list.
Below is the Event Log info on an Excel crash.
