# Digit entry views

A digit entry view fills the entire screen and prompts people to enter a series of digits, like a PIN, using a digit-specific keyboard.

You can add an optional title and prompt above the line of digits.

## [Best practices](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/digit-entry-views#Best-practices)

**Use secure digit fields.** Secure digit fields display asterisks instead of the entered digit onscreen. Always use a secure digit field when your app asks for sensitive data.

**Clearly state the purpose of the digit entry view.** Use a title and prompt that explains why someone needs to enter digits.
