Description

Hi
I'm on Drupal 5.x
I've installed this module but nothing seems to be happening on the password validation front.
The administer access is given only to the admin. I do see the help msg that - "Password must be at least medium strength".
But no client side or server side validation seems to be happening when I:
1. key in the same user name and password
2. key in a password whose length is less than Minimum Length

Am I missing something here or some dependent module?

thanks
Arvind

Can you verify which specific version of Drupal 5.x you're on?

Installed the module on Drupal 5.9 and experience exactly the same problems.

I am having the same problem as well. Nothing seems to happen whatsoever. I am restricted to Drupal 5.10 at the moment due to other necessary modules and was really hoping for this one to work. Are there any plans to check up on this and help us find out what is causing the issue? Are there some dependencies that we aren't aware of?

This issue might have been resolved since the last posting, but I can confirm the module works as advertised on a clean installation of 5.10 (sandbox install on my dev server.) There are no dependencies. Works with default jQuery included with 5.x installation.

Using Drupal 5.15 and this module seems to do what is advertises. I do have Jquery update installed, but according to the post above, that shouldn't matter.

It seems to be in race with system.module own hook_elements (expand_password_confirm) when placed in core /modules directory. Installing it into /sites/all or adjusting password_strength.module weight in system table should solve the problem.

That is interesting! When I tried the module - unsuccessfully (see above #2) - I had it installed in the core modules directory.

(Anyway, meanwhile I have upgraded to Drupal 6.x and today I installed version 6.x-1.0 in ./sites/all/modules and it works well.)
