The new password widget uses a bar to indicate the strength of the given password. However, the bar's always green, which might indicate that even a very weak password might be strong, because the bar is bright green. Perhaps we could start with orange and gradually make the bar greener as it becomes bigger?

Here's a patch that makes the indicator red when the strength is less than 50, yellow when strength is between 50 and 75 and green if it's 75 or greater. Feel free to suggest better ranges/colors/approaches.

thanks!

Would be best to post this patch over in #331893: Add colouring (and description) to password checker as they have already started discussing options on this.
