I have wondered about this. I chose a simple password for my Mint Mate installation because I have to use it so often.
What are my security risks? and how would I be compromised?

If this is your location - (U29tZXdoZXJlIG5lYXIgUGFyaXMsIEZyYW5jZQo), then I can only imagine how strong your password might be.

Wow, I didn't think it was base64.

Try something here: http://www.base64decode.org/

No need for online decoders, when I have python and its documentation: https://docs.python.org/2/library/base64.html

base64 obfuscation makes bad passwords however... But why python when you can simply do:

Code: Select all

echo "<coded_text>" | base64 -d

Thanks for that command, I didn't know it existed. This just shows how much I have to learn about GNU/Linux terminal.
