# .decrypt(password)

## Description

decrypt uses AES decryption to decrypt a string that was encrypted using the .encrypt() method. The same password used for encryption must be provided.

## Parameters

decrypt needs one parameter:

* password: The password that was used for encryption

## Usage On Strings

```javascript
// Basic encryption and decryption
original = "secret message"
encrypted = original.encrypt("myPassword123")
decrypted = encrypted.decrypt("myPassword123")
log decrypted
// "secret message"

// Example with stored encrypted data
storedEncrypted = getSomeStoredEncryptedData()
decrypted = storedEncrypted.decrypt("secure-key")
// Returns original data if password matches

// Wrong password example
wrong = encrypted.decrypt("wrongPassword")
// Returns garbled text or fails

// Best practice: always verify decrypted data is valid
// before using it in your application
```
