Over time I have encountered the need for this various times. When xenforo and xenforo addons are used to store sensitive information, it would be very important to store this encrypted and to allow for a maximum time the data is stored.


Some examples where this would be handy:

  • Support tickets with personal information
  • Conversations with personal information and login details.
  • Bug tracking forums with ftp or login details or server details

It would be mighty handy if custom fields would allow us to give sensitive data, PII, login details for a limited time frame and in a secure manner.

After the set time the data would be removed.


To illustrate my point: vbulletin.com was hacked several times and the various login details in their system and their conversation system was used to hack a very large number of websites.
