The password strength checker broke when the site went live, but I've figured out the problem and it's working now, as far as I can see.

 

What I'm referring to is that when you initially type in a password when you create your account, or when you go to "My account" and change your password, you'll get a rating of the quality of your password once you click in the second password box.

 

Passwords are not a big issue right now unless you have editing or other special permissions on the site. If you do have such access, please understand that the site's security for such access is only as strong as the weakest link among accounts with such access, so people with such accounts need to create passwords that earn a "high" rating.
