Ouch. I just caught up with the post about the field being unencrypted, so I wanted to share my experience — what a coincidence!

I was using an underscore in my setup, and I managed to troubleshoot the issue back in April, thinking it was my own mistake. And, in a way, it was — first, for not checking here earlier, and second, for not reading the whole thread, before posting.
