Password Strength Indicator
Will be a nice addition. Something similar to WordPress. Most people use 123456, password etc. The reason is that they just do not know.

Mixed Feelings.. Pasword strength is subjective and there's an option to force a mixture of characters for passwords: "Required strength for user passwords".
I still think a pasword like "%3ddD$RASewe" is insecure since no one can remember those passwords.

The problem is probably "how to define" strong passwords.
Easy to guess passwords are not so subjective, of course really strong passwords are difficult to identify I think.
Either way, an indication that a password is easy to guess is not that bad to me.
The "how to do" is a totally different thing... lol

Checking for password structure might make users feel like the forum is recording them for later use.
A minimum length is already good enough IMHO. I dunno if I would do a preg match to look for numbers only, etc. Opinions?
