How to partially block field content in emails

[Hank_Hansen]

My goal is to remind the recipient of the last few characters of their password without providing the entire password that is provided via the field token. Rather than providing all of the characters within the token, I'm hoping to find a way to replace some of the characters with "x". Any tricks for this?

This sounds like a bad security idea.

1. passwords should NOT be stored or shared with Marketo.

2. you should always have a click link to reset.

3. you could instead use a HINT text, but again, I don't think it's good to share with Marketo.

I suspect any sort of jquery and velocity scripting would help you with this.

Thanks Josh!

Yeah, an Email Script token can easily do this for you. If it's really meant to be a secure password, agreed that it is very bad idea to host that in Marketo or even place partial substring in plaintext in an email.
