FTVS ME Numeric Input Enable deletes leading zero

I'm trying to use a Numeric input enable to let users change their HMI password. The only problem is it deletes leading zeros when you enter it. I know a string input enable will work but passwords have to be numbers only. Is there a way to make the Numeric entry not delete leading zeros?

No, Even if the connection tag is a string the keypad will not enter leading zero.

Are you not using the keypad from this post?

You could have leading zero using this but you would have to replace the STOD to a COP and change a Password_Entered to a string.

Yeah I've got my own keypad and stuff programmed, just I didn't want to have 2 more keypads with their logic. Numeric entry is a lot less laggy as well.
