Another oddity is that if you narrow the column, the Xs stay visible
while those digits get cropped out.

The workaround is to change the name of the account in the account
settings to include the account number.

Default Why does Money hide my account numbers?

I am trying to review my credit report and there is one item on
there that doesn't look right, and must be at least 6 years old.
My credit reporting agency shows me all but the last 4 digits of
the account. Money, on the other hand, shows me only the last 4
digits. Worthless. I can understand if some people are paranoid
and don't want someone looking over their shoulder at account
numbers, but if that is the case, make everything XXXXX on the
screen because they can see your balances too!

Is anyone really served by this decision the Money team made?

Oh well, back to opening each closed account details in Money
looking for this account number. :-(
