 Replying to [comment:96 folletto]:
 > maybe there are some details that need more fine-tuning. :)

 Will the various types of colour blindness be able to distinguish between
 the green padlocks and the grey padlock?

 > The field starts blank, so as a user you don't have to read information
 that you need only when you start typing.

 The UX then means a user has to focus in the field just to get the
 Generate button appear before they can click it, and that's one step too
 many and more confusing for non-visual users. Could the Generate button
 always be shown, and only have the password strength indicator be shown
 when the field is not empty, not even just on focus, as per the previous
 screenshots in this ticket? They are two separate tasks - generation of a
 password, and analysis of a password.

 As a general side note for some of the other screenshots - screen reader
 users should probably be given some clue that the Generate button exists,
 before or as they focus on the password field.
