Worth knowing
- Is ROT13 secure? No. It is trivial to reverse and should never be used to protect sensitive information.
- How do I decode ROT13? Apply ROT13 again. Encoding and decoding are the same operation.
- Are numbers changed? No. Only the letters A–Z and a–z are shifted.
- Works on any text column, not only Text Input's: pick it under Text column. Tick Generate New Column to keep the original next to the result.
