Password Security - The end to password masking?
July 18, 2009 at 12:53 am
Jakob Nielson, the "usability guru" published an article last month, saying how users choose short and easy passwords because they have trouble typing them when all that comes out are ***** (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/passwords.html)

I agree somewhat with him, but I don't think password masking should end. Instead, I've come up with two possible solutions:

http://tgset.com/password/

The key thing I went for was a simple way to implement, and my JavaScript code is tiny; so much so that the examples could be easily.

Comments? Queries? Criticisms? More importantly...any suggestions for other solutions for me to try to implement?
