What’s wrong with this?

The purpose of Base64 is to encode data—especially binary data—into a limited set of ASCII characters to allow transmission over text-based protocols.

It is not a cryptographic library nor an obfuscation tool.

Avoid encoding sensitive data using Base64 or include sensitive data in your JWT payload unless it is encrypted first.
