Also wanted to test linking a Mastodon post of mine to my Lemmy account. If anything bungles up, sorry in advance!

“You Know How To Scare Me Shitless” is 33 characters and a decent passphrase on its own.

Base64 brings the length to 44 characters, but you might be better off by just using a longer passwphrase (eg. “You know how to scare me shitless and you do it every day, dear student of mine!” is 80 characters long, not much more difficult to remember that the 33-char one and way easier to type than the 44-char base64 one).

All in all, IMHO base64 is not the best idea.
