PassTip jQuery Plugin
The inspiration for creating this plugin came from a blog I follow. Paul Lewis wrote on his blog about Better password form fields and I really liked his design for an inline approach to password verification.
I also wholeheartedly agree with him on the issue that some of the settings many sites use "engender terrible passwords", I also agree that it is very annoying to enter a password and then find out that the field requires special characters or an uppercase characters, etc. To hopefully combat that, I decided to add an entropy option where this plugin can be combined with a third party plugin by xero.
