AxCrypt is 100% free software. There is no requirement to register for an account to use AxCrypt.

However, if you do register, you can manage your update notification e-mail subscription, and get advertisement-free access to the site (although we still appreciate donations).

When you register you also get trial access to Axantum Xecrets on-line password mananger that will give you one password to all your passwords. Your passwords will be accessible via any web browser, and are stored in a secure encrypted archive on our servers.

If you find the Xecrets service useful, we'll be offering a paid subscription at a low yearly cost and we'll be using the revenue to continue developing AxCrypt and other free software. We love free software - but it doesn't pay the rent by itself.
