I'm trying to use AES encryption for my password for that little bit of extra security but its not working out for me. [01:12:08] ERROR ASF > DecryptAES() System.FormatException: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters. at System.Convert.FromBase64String(String) at ArchiSteamFarm.Helpers.ArchiCryptoHelper.DecryptAES(String text)The example above isn't actually my password, but when using my actual password I still get the same error. I have set a custom cryptkey via an environment variable. I can confirm environment variables are working as I can specify my password via one and I can login completely fine. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? The issue also happens when using the modal below. Running: |

Did you edit your config file manually or did you use ASF-ui's config editor? |

This might not be a problem with config but with database that was generated when bot was not encrypted. Normally it should resolve itself within some time since logging in, but if you want to be double safe, I'd stop ASF, remove affected |

I'll add some indicator in the next version for that so you have such info in the log. |

This also further improves my above statement from "some time since logging in" into "immediately after that warning is stated", so it should be observable only once from now on. |

Bot.db(keep track of your ASF 2FA first, if you're using it), then launch ASF and see if you can reproduce, if not, then import ASF 2FA and you're done.
