Hello Jim Kersey,

“Please avoid sending a same query in different mediums. You may get duplicate response.”

AxCrypt encrypted files should have a file extension “.axx”. Also, default application for the file type “.axx” should be AxCrypt app only.

If the AxCrypt app is not configured as a default app for the file extension or no other apps are mapped to the file extension, then you will be alerted with a warning dialog that states “Double-click to open AxCrypt files outside of AxCrypt may not function correctly. The operating system file association for extension ".axx" appears to be broken. Contact your IT support  or search for a solution on the Internet..” when you start the AxCrypt app.

Might be, the default application is not mapped for the file extension “.axx” in your system. So please change the default application to AxCrypt for the file extension for “.axx” with the help of following links,

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028161/windows-10-change-default-programs or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18539/windows-7-change-default-programs

Now all the encrypted files with the file extension ‘.axx’ will be opened by double-clicking the file. Restart the system/AxCrypt app, if required.

Still, if you are facing any issues, please write to Support@axcrypt.net. we are happy to help you.

Hello victor,

The error message indicates that the file simply is not an AxCrypt file – it checks the first 16 bytes for a unique value.

Most often, this error occurs because the file is not produced by AxCrypt, but rather a different kind of file accidentally renamed to end with .axx. Another scenario is that it is a left-over after a previous decryption was interrupted at the stage where the original is overwritten.

Another scenario is that it is a left-over after a previous decryption was interrupted at the stage where the original is overwritten. The most common reason for this happening is that the file was damaged because of early removal of a USB drive, or a disconnected network drive.

If the file is actually damaged to this extent, no, it can’t be fixed. The data is just not there to decrypt it.

But we have a feature called Try Broken File. You can able to decrypt the corrupted AxCrypt encrypted files by navigating the menu File | Options | enable Debug from the AxCrypt app.

Now you can able to see the Debug the menu in the AxCrypt app. From the debug menu you have to select Try Broken File.

Now you will be prompted for file selection. Select the corrupted encrypted file and then AxCrypt will try to decrypt the file. If successfully decrypted, then you are able to see the decrypted file in the location. Otherwise sorry to say, AxCrypt can’t decrypt that file.

Still, if you are facing any issues, please write to Support@axcrypt.net. we are happy to help you.

Hello rube,

“Please avoid sending a same query in different mediums. You may get duplicate response.”

If you select a decrypt option.AxCrypt will not encrypt the file again.as per your email details, I think you are select the option in open secured(not sure).

You can able to decrypt the AxCrypt encrypted file by navigating File | Stop Securing from the AxCrypt app.

Or

In the recent files tab, right click on the file(which you want to decrypt) and select Stop Securing and remove from list

Or

In windows explorer, right click on the file and Select AxCrypt > Decrypt.

So please check the tutorial to decrypt the encrypted files with the AxCrypt app https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyixJ03qmkg&list=PLHRiJs6YxUhgR9sd66jR4ao0EiCxPO7u6&index=4 .

How to remove the folder in secured folder list :

You can able to decrypt the AxCrypt secured folder by navigating to the Secured Folders Tab from the AxCrypt app. Then Right click on the selected folder (which you want to decrypt) and choose the menu option Decrypt Permanently.

Hello Lamar Flatt,

“Please avoid sending a same query in different mediums. You may get duplicate response.”

As I said in the previous email “AxCrypt will allow the users to decrypt the encrypted file with the original password which is used for encryption.

Please check: If you are trying to decrypt the someone’s AxCrypt encrypted file, then you needs the someone’s file password which was used for file encryption.

AxCrypt will use the AxCrypt account password to encrypt/decrypt the files. The account password is used/involved to encrypt the files with the AxCrypt app.

I am trying to say that, you were tried with some different passwords than the original one. So please try to use the original password to decrypt the files. Because there is no options.

[Prabhukumar RModerator]

Hello William,

AxCrypt will allow the users to decrypt the encrypted file with the original password which is used for encryption.

Still, you can open/decrypt the encrypted files with the original file password(which was used in the file encryption process).

If you know the file password(which was used in the file encryption process) to decrypt/open the encrypted file. Otherwise, Without file password nobody to decrypt the encrypted file.

Or

Please check: If the file was encrypted with a different password than your sign in password, then you have to enter the file password while viewing/decrypting the encrypted file.

For example: Try to encrypt a file with your AxCrypt password and then reset your AxCrypt account password using Reset Password Feature. Now if you open the encrypted file, you will be prompted for enter the file password (which is used for encryption of the file).

Please check whether the files which you are trying to decrypt are encrypted recently or before the password reset?

If it was encrypted before the password reset, then you have to remember the password or use AxBruteForce tool to recover the encrypted files.

If you think you almost know the password, we have simple software allowing you to try to find your password, and you can download the most recent version from https://account.axcrypt.net/Download/AxBruteForce.exe and read of how to use it at https://forum.axcrypt.net/axcrypt-brute-force/ . Please note that we cannot provide support beyond this

Or Please check: If you are trying to decrypt the someone’s AxCrypt encrypted file, then you needs the someone’s file password which was used for file encryption.

Still, if you are facing any issues, please write to Support@axcrypt.net. we are happy to help you.

Hello Lawrence Wong,

If you need the legacy version you contact our support team. Please write a mail to support@axcrypt.net. they are helping you.

Hello Keith Johnson,

I am sorry to say, Unfortunately, we do not offer telephone support. If you have anything to ask please write an email to our support team support@axcrypt.net.

AxCrypt will allow the users to decrypt the encrypted file with the original password which is used for encryption.

If the file was encrypted with a different password than your sign in password, then you have to enter the file password while viewing/decrypting the encrypted file.

While viewing the encrypted file (having different password than your sign in password), you have to enter the file password. If you enter the AxCrypt account password instead of file password, then you will get the alert message like “You are already logged in with this password! “. So you need to enter the file password.

For example:

Try to encrypt a file with your AxCrypt password and then reset your AxCrypt account password using Reset Password Feature. Now if you open the encrypted file, you will be prompted for enter the file password (which is used for encryption of the file).

The above situation was happened for you. So kindly try to remember your file password(which is used for encryption) then try to decrypt the encrypted file.

Please know about the password reset and change, actually both are different. You can check the difference between the Password reset and password change here: https://forum.axcrypt.net/blog/password-reset-axcrypt/ .

Hello Pat Dougherty,

“Please avoid sending a same query in different mediums. You may get duplicate response”

The location(C:\Users\’user name’\AppData\Local\AxCrypt) is for the temporary decrypted copies of the files. Those will either be cleaned automatically at the earliest opportunity or when you click the red clean “broom” icon in AxCrypt.

AxCrypt works by decrypting files temporarily and then launching the appropriate application for the decrypted file, which thus is entirely unaware of AxCrypt. AxCrypt monitors the system for the launched app to exit, and when it detects this it will re-encrypt the file and wipe (overwrite) the decrypted file and then delete it.

Note: The temporary files will be removed as soon as the opened encrypted file closed/signed out from the AxCrypt app

I think still your files are not re-encrypted completed(not sure). please click the broom icon in the AxCrypt app when you encrypted the files. Or close the encrypted files and corresponding file properly. Now check the same again.

Still, if you are facing any issues, please write to Support@axcrypt.net. we are happy to help you.

Hello oscar,

We are already explained in the link. Please read the link: https://forum.axcrypt.net/forums/topic/no-puedo-abrir-archivos-encriptados-help/#post-15922 .

Please try to do the same.

Hello Fernanda,

AxCrypt will not send to any file to the user. You will send the encrypted file via(Gmail, yahoo)to other users/recipients.

I will explain about the key sharing features:

There is no need to share passwords in order to send or share files securely with others.

AxCrypt has a key sharing feature letting you add recipients by email address, who when they receive the file can open it with their own AxCrypt password.

Key sharing embeds the shared key into the file. The file must thus first be key shared with the recipient, then sent or file shared. Please note that AxCrypt does not share or send the actual file. To see a quick instructional video explaining how to use key sharing, please view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z3KOZD-Yks .

Still, you are facing any issue, please write a mail to support@axcrypt.net. We are happy to help you.

Hello Phil,

You can send the encrypted file securely with others using AxCrypt key sharing.

You can send the encrypted file via email(Gmail, yahoo, etc..) to other users.

You can use the AxCrypt key sharing feature to encrypt your file(s), then key shares the file with other recipients,  If they want to open the received encrypted file then we have to share the file password with them or the files should be key shared with receivers’ email addresses.

I will explain about the key sharing features:

There is no need to share passwords in order to send or share files securely with others.

AxCrypt has a key sharing feature letting you add recipients by email address, who when they receive the file can open it with their own AxCrypt password.

Key sharing embeds the shared key into the file. The file must thus first be key shared with the recipient, then sent or file shared. Please note that AxCrypt does not share or send the actual file. To see a quick instructional video explaining how to use key sharing, please view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z3KOZD-Yks .

Note that the person you’re sending the file has to use AxCrypt 2 with the email address you shared the file.

Sharing a secured file is made directly from the AxCrypt software by choosing the secured file, click the share button and simply select the team member you want to share it to.

The recipient just needs a free AxCrypt ID and will be automatically invited via email if necessary. The invitation email contains instructions on how to view and edit the file.

Please note: Recipients need to have an AxCrypt app, AxCrypt application and account is mandatory is decrypt the encrypted files.
