Hi,

I am getting the below error when trying to encrypting and decrypting my Password.

Error:

The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or a non-white space character among the padding characters.

The answer to that is short: Somewhere in your program an input is expected in Base-64 encoding and you are feeding it something that is not Base-64 encoded. This is exactly what the error message is trying to tell you. Could also be something in your processing sequence such as you are trying to use the same sequence in encoding as in decoding where it would be nescessary to reverse the steps when decoding. Seeing your code might help us be more specific though, so feel free to use the "Improve question" link below your answer to add the nescessary details.
