About Password Text Cipher

This tool encrypts and decrypts exact text (including upper/lowercase and Unicode) with a password you supply. Plaintext never leaves your tab.

Cryptography: AES-256-GCM with a random 12-byte IV and 16-byte salt per message. The key is derived from your password with PBKDF2-SHA-256 (250,000 iterations). Ciphertext is prefixed with GCT1: so you can spot GitCircle payloads.

Security notes: Strength depends heavily on a long, unique password. Without the password, attackers face modern authenticated encryption—not something that can be “decoded” like Base64. No system is literally unbreakable (weak passwords, future computers, or leaks of the ciphertext plus guessable passwords remain risks). Do not lose your password; it is not stored anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Choose Encrypt or Decrypt.
  2. Paste text (or a GCT1: ciphertext) and enter your case-sensitive password.
  3. Click Run, then copy the result. To decrypt, switch mode to Decrypt and use the same password.
