    No, that’s encoding. If you hid that message inside another message, that would be steganography.

      It is a message hidden in a message. The hidden message is the binary password, and the container message is “[blank]

        If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.

        At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.

        That’s what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.
