Encrypted passwords should not be wrapped #2

Description

@mscholl

If one chooses a sufficiently long password the resulting encrypted password will contain carriage return and line feed as the default Base64 encoding demands cr lf after 76 chars. This may lead to issues when this passwords are read again (if the file where the passwords are store are converted to another encoding etc.). Thus the encrypter should use a Base64 encoding without wrapping.
