in reply to how to decode md5_base64 encoded data to get original data

How can i decode md5_base64 encoded data to get back original data ?

You cannot. MD5 is not an encoding, it is a Digital fingerprint or Digest.

That is, a one-way hashing algorithm that cannot be reversed, because every MD5 digest can result from applying the algorithm to many different input texts.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
