Crowd sourcing sensitive data masking rules (PII, Passwords, keys, etc.) for various sourcetypes

My team has a number of index-time sedcmd-based password masking rules for words in known positions of passwords. This strategy has worked well for us for a while. We are currently wrestling with a case where users accidentally include their passwords along with their upn (user@domain) in the userid field of a windows logon. Does anyone have a good way to handle this condition?

Similarly, does anyone know of any projects to curate lists of trusted splunk transforms for sensitive data masking?

There's no accounting for stupidity.

Perhaps, however, if the domain portion of the upn is well-known, you can mask everything that follows it.

That was might thought as well... some sort of negative look-behind. I thought I was good at regex until I tried to mask passwords with low fp rate.
