Quoting the Hashids website:

Do not encode strings. We’ve had several requests to add this feature — “it seems so easy to add”. We will not add this feature for security purposes, doing so encourages people to encode sensitive data, like passwords. This is the wrong tool for that.

Suggesting this issue to be closed.
