Base64 or Encrypt Class to encrypt a URI segment

[eluser]jvk22[/eluser]
Is it better practice to use base64 or CI's encrypt class to encrypt a URI segment?

ex. site.com/auth/forgot_pw/ base64 or encrypt ([email protected])

You should never put ANYTHING encrypted in the URL. If you want random strings, then great, but you should never want to actually "hide" something in the URL. Because once someone mischievous figures out what item is being hidden, they can try to exploit it.

Stick it in the session, not the url.
