>>Hi,

>>I am wondering if it is a good idea to encrypt user name and email address of users in User and Password Table? Of course, I encrypt password field entry. But I am not sure of what is a good practice with regards to User Name and Email Address columns. TIA for any input.

This is a table in SQL Server so no "spammers" will have access to the table. The only people that will see this table (outside of the application) are DBA. And the DBA probably already knows all users user names and emails.
