Description

A friend encrypts a message in key base web site, and sends it to me via gmail.

I cut and paste the message from gmail into web "decrypt" page and enter password, click button.

The icon sometimes changes color (red/blue/red I think) but the password blanks and the message does not decrypt.

I can decode other messages just fine.

Any thoughts? Things I can try?
