As a very long-time Axcrypt user, I’m pleased that I found this thread. I do actually have my original password.
I think I understand the way this now works i.e. every file or folder that is encrypted is encrypted with my Axcrypt email/password, which is somehow strengthened via your server.
I have two questions.
Firstly, how will this function if your server(s) is down, or for some reason I have no internet access for extended periods (it happens a good bit in the UK)?
Secondly, if I change my Axcrypt logon password, which I might expect to do quite regularly, what happens to anything previously encrypted with my old password?
