Masking SSN Punch In/Out

Currently, employees punch in/out with their SSN. This has raised security concerns several times since their SSN is not masked during input. Is there a way to mask the input field with a * or # for each character rather than displaying their SSN? I figured out how to "hide" the SSN after successfully input, but not during the input process.

 

Thanks in advance,

Re: Masking SSN Punch In/Out

Do you have custom office?  You could make the field width smaller so the whole number will not display.

Re: Masking SSN Punch In/Out

I ended up using Custom Office and shrinking the field width down to 1 so no characters were visible during input, just as you suggested. Seems to be working out perfectly. I wish Sage would add the option to mask the input as it was keyed in. Thanks again for the suggestion.
