@Admin

mcrypt was removed from PHP in version 7.2, because it’s outdated and insecure. Mcrypt is no longer available as an extension. You can/should use Sodium or OpenSSL instead: https://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.mcrypt.php

Please contact your developer and let them know about this, and suggest that if they are still using mcrypt, they should probably not be writing their own cryptography code in the first place.
