the variable value as the Base64 string prefixed with `@b64@`. This value **can** be masked, and it will be automatically

decoded by our templates (make sure you're using a version of the template that supports this syntax).



:warning: The Base64 string is not allowed to contain linebreaks. If you are for example using `base64` to encode, be sure to use the `-w 0` option to disable line wrapping.



!!! EXAMPLE

    `CAVE_PASSPHRASE={"open":"$€5@me"}` can't be masked, but the Base64 encoded secret can.
