 * Hi, I have a weird anomaly that the plugin seem so work in semi levels!
 * If I set it to 2-Weak, as you type a password in, it gets to “Password Strength:
   Weak – Please enter a stronger password.” and then after some more characters,
   it gets to “Password Strength: Weak”. But in neither case does it give the sense
   that the password is enough to continue.
 * The context here is that as Shopify and Amazon both have 6-character minimums,
   we are probably confusing the less tech savvy customers and losing them to competitors.

 * Sorry, I should be clearer about this. The plugin works well on the register 
   page and reset page, because the register/reset button changes to allow progress.
   But on the Checkout page, the messages are confusing because eg on the setting
   2, it says “Password Strength: Weak – Please enter a stronger password.” Then
   it changes to “Password Strength: Weak” which implies that it is still too weak,
   and there is no other change of status to suggest it is adequate to proceed.
 * If we could put in a message at that point like: “A stronger password is advised
   but not compulsory” Then that would help hugely. It could be used when level 
   1 or 2 thresholds are selected and if the password itself is below level 3.
 * Many thanks.
