Retype email sucks - could email color work instead?
- dalehurley 15y agoThis is a project that I was thinking about as a way to overcome the need to have the annoying retype email address box found on sites.
- kmort 15y agotest1234@example.com and tets1234@example.com yield the same background colour. Isn't the point of this to detect accidental transpositions? You may want to use a simple hash in your algorithm. The input field may need some explanatory text to alleviate the user's astonishment as to why the field is cycling colours in the first place -- it's a very unusual UI quirk. Also, I suspect your colour palette is not friendly to the colour blind. Edit: This is reminiscent of Lotus Notes' password hieroglyphics and Chroma-Hash: http://foxxtrot.github.com/Chroma-Hash/ http://foxxtrot.github.com/Chroma-Hash/. The latter has been discussed on HN several times.
