Research direction

Start by locating the Jade UX entry point that displays the device ID and inspect any existing privacy or display settings. Add an option that masks the ID, such as with asterisks, while preserving its current visibility when desired. Done means the ID can be hidden on the device and the existing multisig use remains available when unmasked.

Description

The Jade UX shows an ID that is used in multisigs and its very useful.
But I wonder if it is possible to have a option to hide it like change it to something like ******
If someone takes a picture of a Jade device or film it and posts the picture or video that person is doxed. Even worse if it is somebody else recording. Or a security cam or wtv.
And also if someone walks around with a Jade wallet like a spending wallet in cold storage, connected to their own phone, and someone like a small business or someone near the small business, memorizes the ID.
Having the option to hide the ID I think could be a improvement in the Jade privacy.
