Encrypted Properties

Configuring and using encrypted properties in Umbraco UI Builder to securely store sensitive data.

Umbraco UI Builder allows encrypting properties to store sensitive information securely. When a property is marked as encrypted, its value is automatically encrypted before storage and decrypted upon retrieval.

Umbraco UI Builder uses the IDataProtectionProvider instance registered in the DI container for encryption and decryption. To modify the encryption algorithm, replace the IDataProtectionProvider instance in the DI container.
