Hi, I have been looking into passbolt as our password manager, so I did install the opensource version one to have a look at the features. I can see the username is in plain text format, is there any config settings that username can be masked? or is it not possible at all? ---

Hello, Currently only the password is end-to-end encrypted / stored encrypted in the database. We’re planning to enable more complex types in the future / allow users to choose which fields should be encrypted: > [@As an administrator I can create new secret types and define their associated input fields](https://community.passbolt.com/t/as-an-administrator-i-can-create-new-secret-types-and-define-their-associated-input-fields/19/4): > > @pixelrebel That’s right, either textarea (for like description) or a normal textfield (for normal password). Related to [As an admin I should be able to select which fields are encrypted](https://community.passbolt.com/t/as-an-admin-i-should-be-able-to-select-which-fields-are-encrypted/114). ---
