Frequently asked questions
Where is Base32 used?
In 2FA secrets (TOTP), some file systems, and anywhere case-insensitive, URL-safe text is needed.
What is Crockford Base32?
A variant that avoids confusing letters (I, L, O, U) and is easier for people to read aloud.
Why is Base32 longer than Base64?
Each character holds 5 bits instead of 6, so the output is about 20% longer.
