    $password = "8d6ea4d3e6f8c4f8641516baa5e42b85";
    
    $text = "text clear";
    
    $encrypter = new EncryptionHelper($password);
    $encrypted = $encrypter->encrypt($text);

    echo $encrypted;

Decryption

Example:

    use AgeId\EncryptionHelper;

    $password = "8d6ea4d3e6f8c4f8641516baa5e42b85";
    
    
    $hash = "eyJzYWx0IjoiVWluUHJUOFwvZVQ5REZUZ1wvUHo4NyIsImVuY3J5cHRlZCI6IjJxbzgzcmRsMWNWQ0VJTHVjazBJSFE9PSIsIm1hYyI6IjJmYWM3NWY4ZTk4NmI1MGYwMzgwYTcxYTgwMTA3NmNiM2Y3Y2MwYzBkZDNkNWIwOGYxNTI2ZTkwYTRlMTdkZjgifQ==";
    
    $decryptor = new EncryptionHelper($password);
