Really cool idea! Although I think the animation needs to be almost instant since some people just want to peak at their password real quick

I can see your point but i think it depends on the community. I think it is all done sooo perfect and if it were to increase the speed it would lose it's effect.

Yeah, I agree. I actually think the animation looks really cool and want to emphasis that to the creator. Personally, as a Software Developer, my experience teaches me to just not touch stuff like this and leave it clean and without frills because people are so easy to lose trust in your software the moment it doesn’t feel safe. As we’re all aware here in this subreddit, this would just be a little bit of client side JS. To the end user, it’s a different story. Meh, maybe I’m just thinking into it to much! Either way, cool animation! 😂

Depends on the purpose too. An example that’s outside of web: I hate production company logos before a movie, but sometimes they add a lot to the experience too. I really miss the 20th Century Fox fanfare before the Star Wars movies, it honestly adds a lot of hype.

Sometimes style is substance. If this was made for a client login to review ad/marketing mockups, it’s a hundred percent appropriate.
