@neilsardesai@mastodon.social Weren't there some systems (I'm thinking Lotus Notes) where the masking for the password field was made of glyphs derived from the keys already pressed? This was a sort of accessibility hint-- if you saw the *pattern* you were used to you know you didn't drop or double a keystroke, even if it didn't provide visibility for the raw data. You could like sha256 the content of the field, then map the result onto a collection of emoji, for a similar effect.

@neilsardesai@mastodon.social I just wish we could use emojis in passwords, it would probably make them harder to guess when the people that are bad at them just write: Pa🦨 🦨 w⭕rd🔢

@neilsardesai@mastodon.social @nikitonsky@mastodon.online I want to see the dialog where you pick the password in the first place and it offers commentary in the form of a row of one of these: 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@neilsardesai@mastodon.social @kalleboo@bitbang.social on a New Password field you could use the emoji to communicate the strength of the password; 💩 for not very strong

@neilsardesai@mastodon.social I'm from the era when a teletype would back up over your password and type MMMMM WWWWW XXXXX over it to block it out . Of course the passwords themselves should allow emoji, spaces and unprintable characters like good ol' BEL (0x07), and have no maximum length constraint.
