Impact: Instructors, Students
Updated topic: Access Codes section of Assessment Settings
When an instructor or exam proctor enters an access code for an assessment on a student's computer, the code is masked (*******) to ensure enhanced security. Previously, the code was visible when entered on a student's screen, compromising the secure testing environment.
