Decoding a base64 encoded password in Node.js that was encoded in PHP

Question

How can I decode a base64 string in Node.js that was encoded in PHP like:

base64_encode(openssl_encrypt ('password', "AES-256-CBC",  'keyforthepassword',  OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, '6114'))

6114 is an ID of a person.

To decode this in PHP, I would run:

openssl_decrypt(base64_decode ('encoded_password'), "AES-256-CBC", 'keyforthepassword', OPENSSL_RAW_DATA, '6114')

How can I do the above decrypting in Node.js?

Check out the [Base64 encodings and decodings](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding) document from Mozilla. — node_modules, Aug 14 '18 at 14:18
Do you just need the base 64-decoded string, or do you also want to decrypt the password? — iainn, Aug 14 '18 at 14:29
I need the decoded format. The password the user entered is what i need. — Mathew, Aug 14 '18 at 14:36

var string=<get your string here>;
new Buffer(string,'base64').toString('ascii');

It's only the base64 decoding, you'd still need to AES decrypt – in need of help Aug 15 '18 at 06:14
Can you give me the complete code for getting the actual text? – Mathew Sep 12 '18 at 04:49
