On a webpage, password fields obscure your input with star's to mask them from shoulder surfers. At times, even the users are not sure if they have typed the password correctly in web pages.
Chroma-Hash is an experiment that displays a variety of visualization (eg. background gradients for the password fields) in web pages. Your password will have a unique gradient and hence, so you can instantly see if your password is right after you get used to seeing a particular gradient in the background of the password field.
Chroma-Hash takes an MD5 hash of your input and uses that to compute the visualization.The MD5 hash is non-reversible, so no one could know what your password just from the colors, but as you would be familiar with the pattern, you would know if you are typing it right or not.
