Password streaming

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for password protection that when executed by a first device cause the first device to perform operations comprising:

• upon receiving, at the first device, a first entry in a password user interface running on the first device, the first entry adding a first character to a password:
• adding the first character to an editing placeholder maintained by the password user interface, the editing placeholder stored in a portion of memory of the first device;
• transmitting a command to a password storage component that stores the password in a separate location from the portion of the memory, wherein the command indicates a length of the editing placeholder after adding the first character, a position with respect to characters of the editing placeholder at which the first character is added, and the first character, wherein the command causes the password storage component to edit, using the length of the editing placeholder after adding the first character, the position with respect to the characters of the editing placeholder at which the first character is added, and the first character, the stored password to include the first character by:
• determining a value indicative of a number of characters to delete, replace, or insert into the password based on the length of the editing placeholder, a length of the password stored in the password storage component, and a length of the first character;
• and
• editing the password stored in the password storage component with the first character based on the value and the position with respect to the characters of the editing placeholder at which the first character is added;
• and
• overwriting the first character with a first masking character in the editing placeholder based on transmitting the command.

A system for password protection, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for password protection that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• upon receiving, at a first device, a first entry in a password user interface running on the first device, the first entry adding a first character to a password:
• adding the first character to an editing placeholder maintained by the password user interface, the editing placeholder stored in a portion of memory of the first device;
• transmitting a command to a password storage component that stores the password in a separate location from the portion of the memory, wherein the command indicates a length of the editing placeholder after adding the first character, a position with respect to characters of the editing placeholder at which the first character is added, and the first character, wherein the command causes the password storage component to edit, using the length of the editing placeholder after adding the first character, the position with respect to the characters of the editing placeholder at which the first character is added, and the first character, the stored password to include the first character by:
• determining a value indicative of a number of characters to delete, replace, or insert into the password based on the length of the editing placeholder, a length of the password stored in the password storage component, and a length of the first character;
• and
• editing the password stored in the password storage component with the first character based on the value and the position with respect to the characters of the editing placeholder at which the first character is added;
• and
• overwriting the first character with a first masking character in the editing placeholder based on transmitting the command.
