Hello is it possible to use a base64 encoded password instead of clear test in the config file under receivers ? |

Why would you do that? It can't be for security, as base64 is as easy to decode as it is to encode. |

Base 64 is just an encoding, not encryption. I'll let others chime in on the Windows part. |

I think that a better approach than storing password in the config would be passing it via an environment variable (I believe the expansion will work for Windows too) |

Thankyou for the suggestion @pmm-sumo, I will try this out. If you have any examples for reference please do share that'll be helpful as well. I will keep this thread posted. |

It would likely be better than having it in the config file, but make sure it's an env var set for this process, not for the system. Otherwise, other processes can get access to the credentials. |
