Encrypting Fields

Hi,

I have a form in which I am requesting people's social security numbers and I would like the field to be encrypted so when the email is sent it isn't just sending that information in plain text.

Is this something FF can support?

Thanks!

Sounds like your email is sent using the [default-message] shotcode which will include your SSN field.

Instead, remove [default-message] from your message body and click on the "Default HTML" which will populate your Message body with the same HTML that [default-message] sends. Scroll down to your SS number field and delete the HTML related to it.

I realize that this does not encrypt the SSN but it sounds like your concern was to not send the SSN as plain text in the email.

Hi Ashley

Another community member has written a guide on how to encrypt field data here:

Hope that helps.
