I feel that it’s time to change my axcrypt password.
Will I be able to decrypt files that where encrypted with the old one?

There is an article about changing your password but I will make it simple.

  • Make sure you are connected to the internet!
  • Open AxCrypt software and press FILE – OPTIONS – CHANGE PASSWORD
  • Type in your new password and make sure to remember it!
  • All your files will then open with your new password.

You do not need to change your password unless you think somebody else knows it. If you change your password regularly you risk forgetting it. AxCrypt is not like a website – you do not need to change your password all the time.

If you forget your password you will lose access to all of your files.
