What is the best password policy for Encryption on Workbench

Mohan_Pat

We have a requirement to encrypt a few fields while uploading via workbench. What will be a good encryption password policy? Let's say we have ten fields that need to be encrypted, and 30 users need access to them that they can decrypt with a password.

1. do you create 30 different encryption passwords
2. how do you manage these passwords ( FOR forgotten password or periodically changing the password)

If you are encrypting your field in the workbench, please give us some pointers.

You can't use 30 different passwords to encrypt the data unless you have 30 different datasets which I highly recommend against as that's quite a bit of management overhead.

Typically using a password manager where you can grant or revoke access to the different accounts / passwords is good practice so you don't have passwords floating out in the wild.
