 * I’ve been using Hueman for a couple of years now. I activated the WP Auth Checker
   plugin because I’m considering giving my site a facelift. This is what the scan
   found. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 * Hi, I confirm that this code is not perfectly fine.
    Your site has not been infected.
   It is part of the theme’s core code. The scan probably brought it to your attention
   because base64 encoding is a technique sometimes used by hackers to inject malicious
   lines of code. But in this case, the use of base64 is totally ok.
