You could use a nonce when you have two password boxes, so that the two boxes match, but the hash cannot be reversed by someone who just sees the sequence.
However, this would mean the hash is different each time, so it would be no good for confirming your password is correct before you login. For the registration case, just show a tick when the fields are equal. Or just wait for the round-trip, it's not that bad.
Frankly, the last month's talk about improving password fields is boring: it doesn't need doing. I type passwords without thinking, about twice the speed I type normally, and I don't make mistakes.
Something I'd like to see a password plugin/script that hashes my password with the site URL, so if they lose my password, its not my password they lose, its a site specific hash - anyone know of one?
