I like the idea, but it is somewhat sexist. How about something more neutral, like a litter of kittens that gets larger as your password grows?

Make it a game:

* 1 point for each number

* 2 point for each letter

* 3 points for each symbol

* first of each class counts for five (caps count as a separate class)

"your password score is 32 points, which places you in the top 10 percent. User bschnier is ahead of you by 10 points."

This just links to a SugarCRM login page...?

yeah, I get that too, but here's what you are supposed to see: http://www.swiss-miss.com/2011/02/naked-password.html
