Short: `Obscure password for use in the rclone config file`,
Long: `In the rclone config file, human readable passwords are
obscured. Obscuring them is done by encrypting them and writing them
out in base64. This is **not** a secure way of encrypting these
passwords as rclone can decrypt them - it is to prevent "eyedropping"
- namely someone seeing a password in the rclone config file by
accident.
Many equally important things (like access tokens) are not obscured in
the config file. However it is very hard to shoulder surf a 64
character hex token.
If you want to encrypt the config file then please use config file
encryption - see [rclone config](/commands/rclone_config/) for more
info.`,
