Thanks for the video. I'm wondering how useful it will be, though. If the password is test123, that's not going to be a problem, but if it is a real password, then simply base64 encoding it isn't going to help much. Any other developer can simply take that base64 encoded string and decode it themselves to find the real password. Yes, it is introducing a layer of complexity so that at least you aren't storing a cleartext password in your repo, but it is only slightly better. Thoughts?
Yup same thing came into my mind also but u belive its only for non technical person or for business who just demands to see your code and its just acting same as mentioned by you !!
Yup this is so stupid solution.. they are encoding it, and have a decoding function again in their code.. any other developer can simply put a line of code to print the original password text after the decode function, and get your password.. You must have an external MD5, or SHA asymmetric encryption to ensure 100% security..
Good evening sir i passed diploma with electronincs engineering and persuing b.tech with E.C. can i learn testing course . I have knowledge of c and c++ Sir please help me
Not able to understand usefulness of encoding and decoding.Sending test123 and decoding and encoding and sending will also send test123 .Am I missing something.How it is different.
Sorry to Say but misleading thumbnails🙂. It is just encoding. But not proper encryption. if possible please share the proper encryption strategy in a selenium framework
![Why password should be stored in char array char[] instead of string?](/img/n.gif)

How to encode password using selenium python? Please help me it's kind of urgent task I have to submit in the office today.

encodeBase64() not supported in Selenium 3.141.59
just download the jar files externally and import them. It will work.
@@gaganjain806 can u please send jar file link
