Credential character encoding

Processing runs in this browser after you press Process. Credentials are not sent to our API or saved in browser storage. Basic Auth uses Base64, not encryption; send it only over HTTPS.

The username cannot contain a colon; colons in passwords are allowed. Control characters are rejected. UTF-8 generation normalizes both fields to NFC; match your server’s encoding. Decoding preserves the received characters. Maximum 65,536 input characters.

✓ The tool runs directly in the browser and is ready for quick checks without installing software.
✓ Input can be cleared and recalculated immediately, which is useful for repeated small tasks.
✓ Use fullscreen mode when you need more space for long text, structured data or large result blocks.
✓ Copy buttons are available on generated output so results can be reused in code, documents or support chats.
✓ Most operations are deterministic: the same input and options produce the same output.
✓ For sensitive content, prefer local browser tools and review the result before sharing it further.
