Frequently Asked Questions

What is Base32 encoding used for?
Base32 uses a 32-character subset (A–Z and 2–7) designed to be human-readable and case-insensitive, widely used in Google Authenticator 2FA secret keys.
Why is Base32 preferred over Base64 for 2FA keys?
Base32 avoids confusing characters (like 0, 1, O, I) making manual typing and QR code error correction much more reliable.
