You are a web master, developer or admin, you use Filezilla to connect to FTP sites and you forgot the password accesss? No you should not change the password from WHM-cPanel or Plesk.
Below we will describe how we can find the forgotten code on a Filezilla site.
Open Filezilla and go to Location Manager:
As you can see in the picture, the Password appears with the known black dicks.

We will use the first frame in the middle of the page.
We copy and paste the encrypted code, click on the first button and appear deciphered as shown in the image below:
So our forgotten code was:

However, after my anxiety to find the password I forgot, I began to think about how "seriously" some programs take the issue of security. Filezilla, for example, added base64 encryption to prevent password interception ……
