    Hi,

    I tried to look for the answer in previous posts, but could not, although I think this may be a common “problem”. I have changed password a few times over the years, so if I open an old file, I am asked for an old password. This way the password of that file gets updated to the new one.

    Is there way to update all the files with the new password at the same time, without having to open or decrypt and encrypt again ?

    thank you

    No. Because the possibility of password disclosure is very high. Your security for your accounts is also affected. Unblocked Games 76

    Oh, that’s a bummer! I was hoping there was an easy way to update all my old AxCrypt files to the new password. Guess I’ll just have to do it the hard way. Safety first, I suppose!

    That’s a useful feature request — updating older encryption with the most recent password can definitely streamline data management, especially when dealing with legacy files. It would help avoid confusion and improve long-term security by consolidating everything under your current key.

    Tools like Brat Generator can be handy in organizing and tracking which files were encrypted with which passwords, especially if you’re juggling multiple credentials from different phases. A smart update function paired with a log (maybe even Brat Generator-compatible) would make this process much smoother and safer.
