Frequently asked questions

Can this decrypt any encrypted text?
It decrypts messages created with this tool. Text encrypted with other software uses other formats and will not open here.
Why does it say the password is wrong?
The password is case sensitive and must match exactly. A message that was edited or cut when copying also fails to open.
Does decryption upload my message?
No. The message and password are used only inside your browser.
