Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 In [attachment:no-timeout.5.diff]:

 * Add a new event watch for `pwupdate`, causing the strength meter to
 update, similar to when the propertychange (ie8 only) or input (all other
 browsers)
 * Trigger `pwupdate` when plaintext password field changes
 * Fix some spaces -> tabs
 * Removed the call to `$('#pass2').val('').on( 'input propertychange',
 check_pass_strength );` - I don't believe this is required as handle this
 at L161

 Tested in browserstack ie8 & chrome, needs more testing!
