An experiment from Mattt Thompson in how to visualize the input of
masked password fields:
http://mattt.github.com/Chroma-Hash/
Some explanation taken from his blog:
Chroma-Hash displays an ambient color representation of the input as
it is being typed.
Use Case 1: Login Check
If your password normally is represented as red, purple, orange,
and after youve finished typing you see pink, green, grey, youll
know you mistyped it somewhere along the way.
