 > So for ie8 users the feature would silently fail? it might be worth the
 extra effort to use two fields so ie8 users can still use this feature
 completely. Do you see a disadvantage to doing this?

 That's what I was thinking, yes.

 On further thought, your suggestion of a second field seems better.
 Disabling switching & defaulting to `type=password` prevents generating
 the strong password. Which is bad.
