Setting a Password on My Passport for MAC

WD External and Portable SSD External SSD for macOS

I came across this old thread:

http://community.wd.com/t5/External-Drives-for-Mac/Password-protection-for-My-Passport-for-mac/td-p/569818

It provides a link to a place where I can supposedly download some software which will enable me to setup a password, at:

http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=219&sid=158&lang=en

I think it should be ‘WD Security for Mac’? But this is greyed out…there doesn’t appear to be a link? Does anyone know if this is still possible? 

Also, the drive I would like to set a password on already has files on it, so I want to be sure that adding security after files are already there is not going to cause them to be wiped or anything?

Many thanks
