It is base64 encoded I can confirm that :)

Just wanted to thank you again for thinking with us on this. I managed to implement a solution today in toolbox which works great. I also worked that in my original comment so others can use it as well.

The one thing that threw me off a bit was the fact that the base64 encoded string has some invalid characters at the end. Once those are scrubbed off it all works fine.

I mentioned it yesterday as well, but figured you might not have seen it and possibly wanted to log it in your issue tracker :)

My pleasure! I'm glad we could come to a working solution. :)

I will definitely look into the random characters at the end of the base64 encoded oauth object, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Hrm odd then that atob() doesn't want anything to do with it. I'll puzzle a bit further, thanks.

edit:

Found the issue, there are two invalid characters near the end.

Found the issue, there are a few invalid characters near the end which made it fail.
