Repository Details

A colorful visualization of password field input

Chroma-Hash

Password entry can be frustrating, especially with long or difficult passwords. On a webpage, secure fields obscure your input with โ€ข'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 is a jQuery plugin that visualizes secure text-field values using ambient color bars.

Chroma-Hash displays a series of colored bars at the end of field inputs so you can instantly tell if your password is right. The script takes a hash of your input to compute the colors in the visualization; the resulting color pattern is non-reversible, so no one can determine your password from the colors alone.

Usage

$("input:password").chromaHash({bars: 3, salt:"7be82b35cb0199120eea35a4507c9acf", minimum:6});
  • bars : the number of bars displayed (1, 2, 3, or 4)
  • salt : the value to be appended when calculating hash function
  • minimum : the minimum number of characters needed for grayscale bars to be displayed in color

Requirements

  • jQuery 1.3+

Ports, Implementations, and Adaptations

Chroma-Hash is also available in your choice of JavaScript libraries and languages:

For the more acoustically-inclined, check out Sonic-Hash, which uses sounds instead of colors.
