FileZilla is a cross platform Open Source FTP client for uploading files to web server. It is one of most used FTP client. It stores password in XML files in its config directory.
There's none by default. You have to create the user accounts on FileZilla server. In this process, you will define both usernames and passwords.
A plain text password (or Plaintext, or Plain-text) is a way of writing (and sending) a password in a clear, readable format. Such password is not encrypted and can be easily read by other humans and machines. And, I repeat, 40% of organizations keep their passwords in plain text.
I think this is the tool you are looking for: https://www.base64decode.org/ Just fill in your base64 encoded password and it will decode it for you.
The password seems just to be base64 encoded (not instant readable, but it still is the password). In older fileZilla versions, the password wasn't even encoded, and the passwords were there in plain text, this is a (small) improvement.
