They're ASN.1 DER encoded. The encoded contents include:
The "key id" (number) of the triple-DES key that encrypted it.
The "algorithm ID" (identifies it as triple-DES encrypted,

The encrypted password itself (which was truncated in your sample)
I didn't want to post my passwords here, encrypted or not.
Is there an easy way to decode this stuff using, say, openssl ?
I tried but so far with no luck.
If I recall correctly, when you first begin to use encryption in a
profile, if you do not set a master password, then an empty default
password is used, and therafter when the password is needed, you are
not asked to enter one. If and when you set a real master password,
you will begin to be prompted for it when it is needed.
Thanks a lot for answering.
