lockbox VS authtrail

The first step is to install the gem with bundle add authtrail. Additionally, since you'll be storing user-identifiable information such as emails and IP addresses in your app database, it's highly recommended that you encrypt this data in production using a combination of Lockbox and Blindindex gems.

Your app queries an encrypted ActiveStash index, which says what rows in your existing database should be retrieved. It works with all the popular application-level encryption plugins for ActiveRecord, including ActiveRecord Encryption, and Lockbox.

Content is encrypted using https://github.com/ankane/lockbox default setup I've been considering adding optional end-to-end encryption as well, but am a bit afraid people might lose access to content forever if they lose access to keys.

I've been using the lockbox gem to encrypt specified attributes.

I stumbled upon lockbox when looking for alternatives to attr_encrypted (It hadn't been updated for a while). It's really super & I'm pretty keen to share it :D

Storing successful and unsuccessful login attempts can help to detect suspicious attempts. If you are using Devise, you can use the authtrail gem for that.

You'll need to track user logins, then use that information in the notification emails you send your users. But first, you'll need a way of tracking user logins. This can be accomplished using a nifty gem called Authtrail, which also pairs well with Devise.
