You don’t need two passwords.
- You’ll be asked for your AxCrypt 1.7 password to decrypt the file. Obviously no password = cannot decrypt.
- You’ll be asked for your AxCrypt 2 password once a day or until you lock your system
Your AxCrypt 1.7 files will be automatically converted to AxCrypt 2 files. As soon as this has completed you’ll only be prompted for your AxCrypt 2 password.
