How do I say all sensitive information has been obscured, what is the correct word? For context this is data that contains encrypted passwords.

The correct word is redacted. From dictionary.com: Redact - to hide or remove (confidential parts of a text) before publication or distribution, or to examine (a text) for this purpose: My example (edited): 'Here is the document. We have censored classified information, replacing it with black boxes. The redacted information is only available to certain individuals.'
