Description

Chroma-Hash is a jQuery plugin that dynamically visualizes secure text-field values using ambient color bars.

Password entry can be frustrating, especially with long or difficult passwords. On a webpage, secure fields obscure your input with "¢'s, so others can't read it. Unfortunately, neither can you"”you can't tell if you got your password right until you click "Log In".

Chroma-Hash displays a series of colored bars at the end of field inputs so you can instantly see if your password is right. Chroma-Hash takes an MD5 hash of your input and uses that to compute the colors in the visualization. The resulting color pattern is non-reversible, so no one could know what your password just from the colors.

    It is a new and artistic way to make a password input. it's safe and secure. The only limitation I see are for color-blind persons... Overall, I say it's an amazing component and we might see it in almost all of the websites in the future.

    An interesting, and unique visualisation tool. Easy to implement, and does exactly what it says on the tin.
