Shield Platform Encryption trailhead error: The Contact Mobile Phone field does not appear to be encrypted.

I have this field encrypted and there is data in there.

Please advise.

Hi Dan,

I had the same error first time, after a retry contact error went off and now Account phone error is coming...The Account Phone field does not appear to be encrypted.

but i have got email with all the required fields as encrypted:
Encryption has been enabled for the following fields:

Account: Phone
Contact: Mobile
Case: Description

Not sure if there is anything wrong with the validation.

Hi,

As per suggestion over the community - i created a new developer org and tried the same steps which worked fine.

https://success.salesforce.com/_ui/core/chatter/groups/GroupProfilePage?g=0F9300000009Nek&fId=0D53A00002mPJnf&s1oid=00D300000000iTz&s1nid=0DB30000000072L&emkind=chatterCommentNotification&s1uid=0053000000CVTHf&emtm=1468715873655&fromEmail=1&s1ext=0

Create a new DE org...

Ensure that the user does NOT have view encrypted data permission.  Also I had to add new data to each of the encrypted fields in order to pass the test.

Make sure you login to the new DE org before you check the challenge. You might want to logout and log back in to make sure you have right DE org to check the result.

This problem occurs because you have enabled the portal partner or customer portal so you have to turn them off. creating a new one works because these features are disabled.

Good luck

Hi All,
I have passed this challange. Make sure that you have assigned that permission set to a user and System administrator. Now Go to 
Setup-->User-->click on the user who is a System Aministrator--> under Permission Set Assignments-->click permission set that ypu have assigned recently to the user for this challenge  and uncheck the view Encrypted data for this profile

Hi All,

I have tried in several new DEs as well as Trailhead playgrounds, but still got the same error. 

I think there is a problem in the Development Org. Because I have assigned all different profiles (i.e. Standard User, custom profile) to my user with no permission to see Encrypted Data. But still user can view encrypted field.
If any of you has any update, please let me know.

Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Faruk

There's something amiss here.  If I create a new custom encrypted field using classing encryption, that field appears encrypted in the details view, but the mobile phone field is still visible in plain text.

I'm facing the same issue too, I've set up a new DE org as suggested and I've enabled the fields stated in the module and the validation fails too...

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The Contact Mobile Phone field does not appear to be encrypted. Make sure you have records with data in this field.

I've received the email confirming the encryption activation... Seems a problem on the validation tool

Encryption has been enabled for the following fields:
Account: Phone
Contact: Mobile
Case: Description

Thank You,

Hi Vironica,

I have encountered another issue with this trailhead: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/projects/lemonade-stand-workshop/steps/create-reports-and-dashboards. No matter what I do, I am getting this error "Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The 'Pending Orders by Queue' report does not appear to be grouped by Fulfillment Queue Name and Flavor Name.". 


Could you please help to resolve this trailhead? Many thanks in advance.

P.S. I have checked in the developer forums "https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=9060G000000XdPVQA0". There is a issue has been logged before, which is now marked as resolved. However, I have tried all the options/suggestions that have been suggested, but still getting the same error.

Hi everyone,

We've patched the Shield Platform Encryption Unit 2 hands-on challenge. You should be able to complete the challenge at this point.

Again, thanks for reporting this and for your patience. Happy Trailblazing!

Faruk,

Thanks for reporting your issue with the Create Reports and Dashboards unit challenge. I'm not familiar with that unit, but will let someone on our team know about your issue.

Please continue to monitor the Create Reports and Dashboards Challenge - Lemonade Stand Project (https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=9060G000000XdPVQA0) thread for updates.

Still struggling with the same issue.It doesn't seem to be resolved.
Also, @Gustavo were you able to get the encryption at the UI? I am struggling with the exact same issue you listed.

It's been over 3 years and this still looks unresolved. I completed the Unit 2 module successfully, but achieving completion on this unit is misleading b/c the fields don't actually appear encrypted in the UI (and yes, I have the "View Encrypted Data" system permission disabled).​​​​​​

Additionally, I navigated to Encryption Statistics in Setup, gathered statistics for each object, synced each object, updated values in the encrypted fields to test the result. I got the same result, which was that the data I saved on the records were still visible in the UI and nothing appeared to be encrypted.

Please follow up on this as we are trying to test Shield in our sandbox environment (to eventually implement in production) and running into the same issue which is preventing deployment.

Shield platform encryption does not mask the data in the UI. PE encrypts the data at rest. Gustavo Tandeciarz
Ali Noorani 17Ali Noorani 17
@Gustavo Tandeciarz, thanks - as soon as I posted that I found this article which states that data masking was decoupled in Spring '17.
Ali Noorani 17Ali Noorani 17
Does anyone know if there's a native feature in Salesforce (excluding Classic Encryption or custom Apex code) that allows masking of data?

This happened with me as well but salesforce sends email with detailed description about the issue, you can view the details and act accordingly. For me i had to enable Chat & Field service lightning in my Dev org and remove the references of phone field in other fields.

The instruction is quite misleading as it states "Admin does NOT have access to encrypted field" which most of us think that we need to set it under field level accessibility. You do NOT need to do that, leave it as is and just make sure that the View Encrypted Field permission under Admin profile is unchecked. That's it and you should pass this challenge!
