Encrypt the column would be my first suggestion. There are also ways of using VARBINARY as the column data type.

If your "view" is a front end then change that. If you mean with SSMS they can see the value then at the least a permission change is needed.

Thanks for the sites, from the sites, can you provide best code which most suitable for my request. My request is SQL admin can't see (looks like bullets) what is the password user entered and cannot copy.
