Comment That's no less secure than bad encryption/encoding (Score 2) 381
If you store passwords on your machine, either they have to be strongly encrypted in something like KeePass or Kwallet and password/key protected, or else they are as secure as plain text.
Some pieces of software "encrypt" passwords with base64 or XOR and make them look garbled and that gives you false sense of security. But in reality these passwords can be decrypted in milliseconds by anyone.
