User reviews

Not what you think it does. It does encrypt and is easy to do. But after encryption you can copy and paste into an online decrypt website and it will decrypt. So if you are storing sensitive info, it can be decrypted by someone else. The best approach is password protected decryption. The person would need the password to even begin to decrypt the string. IT would be really helpful if this extension offered password protecting the decryption. Perhaps in an update?
