AxCryp is a very poor product.

The encryption level is so high that it is too easy to forget the password – (Remember that these day we have to remember far more passwords for websites & credit cards etc).

This is because it is too difficult to make a memorable password that requires non-alphanumeric characters.

The only way to remember passwords from AxCrypt is to write them down – which completely defeats the object.

As a result I have installed AxCrypt from my computer and placed my files on a stick that is removed from the computer and hidden away.

I have also recommended that my friends do the same.

I will reconsider AxCrypt if there is ever a version that allows the use to use ANY password form – a warning that the password is not strong will suffice.
