Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Good catch, I think I understand what was happening here with
 'propertychange' which we were using to capture input in ie8.

 I tried your patch in ie and and the only issue I still see is the delay
 in updating the password strength meter you mentioned.

 Changing the method from keypress to keyup seems to have alleviated that
 to some degree, I'm still seeing an empty strength meter if i clear the
 password field in ie. I'm going to keep digging here to see if I can
 refine further.



 Replying to [comment:3 peterwilsoncc]:
 > `propertychange` (IE8) fires on programatic changes, `input` does not.
 >
 > IE8 appears to be looping events and clearing pass2 in the event
 following the lastpass comment. This causes a password mismatch.
 >
 > In 33385.1.diff events are fired on the keypress event. It fixes the IE8
 password mismatch but introduces a lag/stickiness with the strength meter
 status not changing immediately.
 >
 > Needs iteration but I need to sign off now, I am afraid.
