Base64: YWJ3ZWdmO2Fv
Decrypted: abwegf;ao

Can't really say you encrypted it when you used a public encryption method. That's like someone else making a cake and you putting it in the oven to bake and saying you made it.

Base64 is an encoding scheme, not an encryption scheme. The difference is that encoding schemes have a reverse operation to decode them. Encryption schemes mean you need a key.

In reality, for just the password you would want a hash algorithm.

Regardless, "encoding" the password is just a tiny bit of obscurity.
