The Base64 Password Storage Scheme provides a mechanism for encoding user passwords using the BASE64 encoding mechanism.
This scheme contains only an implementation for the user password syntax, with a storage scheme name of "BASE64". The Base64 Password Storage Scheme merely obscures the password so that the clear-text password is not available to casual observers. However, it offers no real protection and should only be used if there are client applications that specifically require this capability.
The Base64 Password Storage Scheme component inherits from the Password Storage Scheme
