With the enhancement of security measures, Suprema Devices with LCD display now provide options for settings to partially mask or completely hide the User ID and User Name displayed on the device's authentication success screen. 


[Example the popup message for ther User Name and User ID]


Three Options for [User Name Display] and [User ID Display]:

  • Display All:
    • Display the ID as is.
    •  Display the Name as is.
  • Mask All but First Letter:
    • Display only the first character of the ID and mask the rest with asterisks [*].
    • Display only the first character of each word in the Name and mask the rest with asterisks [*].
  • Hide All:
    • Do not display the ID at all (leave it blank). 
    • Do not display the Name at all.  

※ Each setting can be configured independently for user ID and username.
