I gotta agree it's abit weird. When I typed my password and colors happened, I waited for something more to happen. I wasn't sure what the colors meant until I read the document. What Steven pointed out is still the best way to indicate password strength. But I still think this Chroma hash guy is up to something.

Thoughts?

A password strength meter would be awesome, but I think this one is a little weird. Typically,[1] these use a much simpler color scheme, potentially combined with words. 

An even simpler implementation that would be good for core as well as apps would be clientside validation of the password length. Soon we're going to be upping the limit to six bytes/characters, so a simple "too short" message might be good to get implemented.
