inputscope

I have a box that I want to take a password of only numbers (like an ATM-card PIN), how is the best way to do that?

Requirements:

Password (with the hidden numbers)
Typing digits as the default (only?) keyboard

What I've tried:

I thought that InputScopes would be the way to go, but I can't set the input scope on a password box. I even tried putting the password InputScope on a normal TextBox, but that didn't mask the appearance of the characters in the text box. Suggestions?
