Comment:

 In [attachment:33385.2.diff]:

 * Bind to `keyup` event, verified fires correctly across browsers (unlike
 `keypress`, fires after input value changes)
 * Added the ie8 equivalent css filter matching our opacity settings for
 the password strength meter.

 Note: Because the password meter uses inline styles overriding the
 `display` attribute, we are using opacity here to hide the password meter
 when the password field is blank. This doesn't work in ie8 where `opacity`
 isn't fully supported - so you just get a blank box for the password
 meter. My patch includes a css filter that works in ie8, tested and it
 works correctly. An untested solution would involve a wrapper element that
 we could show/hide, not certain would even work though.  Another option
 would be to leave the box as is for ie8, it looks like this:
