Good afternoon,

I am encrypting a simple text to test with hmacsha256bytehash, but I can't find any functionality to decrypt it, could you help me?

Thank you so much

Decrypting data hashed with HmacSHA256 is not possible because hashing is a one-way cryptographic.
I would recommend,
Store plain text securely using encryption.
To verify data, generate a new HmacSHA256 hash of the plain text and compare it with the stored hashed value.
They should match if the data is unchanged.
