No. Actually, you shouldn't do that. As soon as you scramble the #__users table you can forget about using any third party extension which has anything to do with users, i.e. almost every single extension out there. I could explain why, but it'd take me several dozen pages and it's well outside the scope of our support.

Thank you kindly Nicholas for the clear response.

Would you be able to suggest other ways e.g. MySQL database encryption?

Or other security capabilites to protect the Joomla user information while maintaining component/s capabilities?

Kind regards,

Riz
