Do not know whether I will use it or not, but I am glad to see a new post on this forum. Btw, I guess the markdown engine converted the underscores, correct url should be
https://github.com/animaux/sodium_encrypted_input

This field acts like a normal text input, but the value stored in the database is encrypted and is therefore not human-readable. This is useful for storing data such as passwords, oAuth/API tokens or personal details. Encryption is achieved using Sodium with a key generated on extension installation.
This means that if your database is somehow compromised then your content remains safe. A hacker would need to also obtain the key from the config file to decrypt your content.
