What problem does it solve?

Webhook and API authentication can fail when Base64 padding characters '=' are dropped during secret replication between platforms. This guide explains how padding loss leads to Unauthorized or Server Error responses and provides a clear remediation path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify where Base64 secrets have lost padding and determine the exact missing padding needed to restore the full value.
  • Rebuild the full padding, validate the restored secret against the system, and guide redeployment to confirm authentication works across environments.
  • Applies to deployments on platforms like Railway, Vercel, Convex, and similar workflows where secrets are copied or displayed imperfectly.

Quick Start

Identify the mismatched secret, reconstruct the full Base64 value with padding, and redeploy affected services.
