I can't comment on gerrit yet, but I thought I'd second what Francois
said in 2011. There's a growing school of thought about passwords that
as an alternative to forcing people to enter strings with lowercase,
capitals, numbers, and punctuation marks, you should allow people to
enter very long strings of dictionary words. See
https://tech.dropbox.com/2012/04/zxcvbn-realistic-password-strength-
estimation/ for instance.

Title:
  implement a "password strength" meter that shows strength of password
  as user is typing it in

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is for when users are changing password/admins setting password
  first time, etc.

  Having a pretty meter next to it showing how "strong" the password is
  would be pretty cool
