That's a random accident. The base64 could have been broken up into
clusters just as likely as the random string I posted. If you want to
exclude all passwords *and* base64s of passwords that might be easily
shoulder-surfable based on the mnemonic tricks used by the current
observer ... that's a hard problem.
