How to cover input data with asterisks?

JotForm used the term "mask" to mean the formatting of data typed in a field. What's the term you use for hiding or covering up that data with asterisks so its not visible to prying eyes (e.g., a registration/access code, or a credit card number)?

Please take note that collecting personal information might get your account suspended. 

Can you tell us how your form works ? we might be able to give you an advice or workaround to prevent violating Jotforms terms of use.

I guess it depends on what JotForm defines as "Collecting Sensitive Information" (as defined in the Terms & Conditions). I'm not collecting SS numbers or credit card info. But, I'm collecting phone numbers, email addresses and street addresses. I'm also planning to implement an access code work-around for membership passwords (which violate the Terms & Conditions), as suggested by your staff. And, I don't want them to be visible in the clear when entered in the "Access Code" field.

This is commonly referred to as obfuscation. You can achieve this with an input field using CSS. Below is a complete guide that covers this topic in great detail.

You can do this without violating our Terms of Use for as long as its used in conjunction with non-sensitive personal information like the ones you mentioned (phone numbers, email addresses and street addresses, or an access code workaround to reveal parts of your forms that are conditionally hidden).

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks Jim!
