This is because we now always encrypt the password, even by default,
where we just use an empty master password as - I think - the key seed
(I don't know the actual code, so I don't know if it's the seed or
whatever, I just know password cannot be decrypted without the master
password).
What we actually did remove was the mere base64 "obscuring" of
passwords, which older versions did by default.

Yes - that was the answer that I received when I initially asked about
it. But it would be - and still is - a good idea to provide the
information as to what is actually being done in the user dialog (like
the previous "use encrypting vice obscuring" note/option) to make it
clear just what is happening. Particularly in the initial release of
such a notable change. Then I wouldn't have had to ask at all.
