How to portray to a user the security of an input field?
I was just tasked by my boss to make a certain SSN field to appear more secure. We currently are masking the first 5 numbers but he wants a greater feel of security behind the input.
He was thinking a background with lines through it, but left most of the creative work to me. I am wondering:
- Is it bad UX to place a greater emphasis on the security of a field?
- Are there any examples I can view that can show such an idea?
