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.
