Password is stored in plain text and you are sitting in exposed. Sensitive data is flowing through your workflow unprotected. If your automation handle any sensitive information and you are not encrypting it, you are one breach away from disaster. The crypto node fix it. This is part 32 of our n8n series. The crypto node lets you hash and encrypt any data inside your n8n workflow. It takes sensitive information and convert it into a secure unreadable format that cannot be reversed. Two important concept. Hashing. Convert your data into a fixed string that cannot be reversed. You never store actual password. You store a hash. Encryption. Convert data into secure that can be reversed with right key. Password for sensitive data, you can read it later. That is part 32 done. Like, share, see you in part 33.
