This encrypts the data in the database, but if your application is hacked it doesn’t provide any help does it? What stops me from running Person.all.map{|p| p. api_password} to get all their passwords?

No it won’t keep your application safe, just your database.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
