Display MD5 hashed passwords as asterisked text
<p>I want to <code>echo</code> account details of users, which is fine for plain text but I have md5 hashed passwords in the database. I would like to display the password in asterisks so the only variable would be the length of the the password. So if someones password was <code>cat</code> it would show: Password: <code>***</code>   and if someone else's was <code>hippopotamus</code> it would 
show: Password: <code>************</code>  however with the password encrypted this seems difficult. although websites like eBay and Facebook do have this and they must encrypt users passwords.</p>

<p>can anyone shed any light on this problem. Thanks   </p>
