New user: password strength reported as "Very weak" until all attributes have been filled in

[mattock]

When creating a new user Pwm claims the password is "Very weak" regardless of its real strength until all (required?) attributes have been filled in:

When all fields have been filled the password strength is shown correctly:

Note that the meter is correct in all cases, so only the textual format is out of sync.

I can confirm this to be true. BTW. Is this the proper place to report issue?

It's working as designed, since password rule checking is comparatively expensive, so it doesn't do the password check unless all other form validations are passed. There's probably a way to improve this since it results in a less than ideal user experience.
