AxCrypt is available as an installable program, or as a standalone program that is directly executable - no installation required. I like the standalone version, but others have said they prefer the convenience of the installed version of AxCrypt.
The very first time you launch AcCrypt you must sign in with your email and then enter a confirmation code sent to your email address. You also must create a single master password. Like the master password for your password manager, it needs to be both strong and memorable. This is the password you use to sign in online, and also the password that unlocks the product on your PC.
There are many advanced features available in AxCrypt, making it a useful program for secure file exchange within a team or small group working on a secure project. AxCrypt integrates seamlessly with Windows to compress, encrypt, decrypt, store, send and work with individual files.
The old, legacy version of AxCrypt-1 is available on the Axantum web-site.
AxCrypt-1 was a great program, for file encryption, but lacked the advanced features of AxCrypt-2. While you can still use AxCrypt-1, you should be aware that it is no longer supported.
If you want a simple file encryption program that works like AxCrypt 1, you might consider AESCrypt.
