Martin,

The removal of that string was at the request of the design team.  The
new inactive labels on each password widget replace the textual hint
that you need to enter the same password twice.  The password strength
meter replaces the suggestions on what makes a good password.

Thanks!

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity

I've received a request from sabdfl and the design team to add a password strength meter to the user setup page, removing the need for the weak password dialog.

Please provide a freeze exception for the following:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40868597/password-strength.patch

This isn't a major change.  The functionality slots into the existing validation process of the user setup page's fields.  The password strength test itself comes from Mozilla (GPLv2) and has been around for years.

All new strings are translatable.
