Hello Tom,

If both the computers are connected with the internet, then you can open/decrypt the encrypted files with both the old and new passwords.

If your main system is not connected with the internet(means offline state), Then still, you can use the old password to sign in and open the encrypted files.

Password change will get detected, once you signed in to the AxCrypt app with internet-enabled.

Still, you can sign in to the AxCrypt app with your old password in your main system – AxCrypt local status. AxCrypt app warns you with local mode warning text to change the app status to local – when you used the old password to sign in.

As explained earlier, We can open the encrypted files with both the passwords.

If the local app cache is not cleared, then you can use the old password to sign in to the AxCrypt app. But you can open the encrypted files with both the old and new passwords.

Also, AxCrypt will work as you said in the quoted text.
