I like this program because it is indeed easy to use ,but there seems to be new guidelines or instructions on producing encryption programs, none of them are as safe as they claim to be including this one, another newcommer , any encryption program that tells you that you or they can retrieve a lost or forgotten password is flawed and NOT safe because it means that your password is in the header or somewhere in the encrypted file and can be retrieved by anyone with the time know how resources and brains ,using good encrypting programs comes with the implied risk that should you lost or forget your carefully chosen strong password means good bye to your files or folders.This programs warns you to be careful about changing your password because doing so will delete all files created with the old password and thats just the password not the key it made so once your password is collected out of the encrypted file both your files and private key is open to be examined . Take your time and decide .
