I can't see any extra advantage of your input has, more than it will just
consume more bandwidth for trans****ting the data. The has type will always
be
the same for a site, as the passwords will always be stored in that type,
a
site that uses md5 hashed passwords will never request a sh1 hashed
password,
as then they can't validate the password is correct.

The method will be predictable and complicated to use and just gives a
false
feel of extra security.
