While I haven't used that plugin, that *kind* of thing is a godsend.
When you set a password, you really want to be sure what you're setting.
It took me ages, once, to crack a typing error.  There were so many
combinations that could have gone wrong.  The type it in twice things
are no guarantee that you won't make to identical errors without
noticing.

Likewise, they're a sanity-saver when you're typing in one of those
passwords with stupid composition rules (must have one or more capitals,
alien symbols, and Egyptian hieroglyphics etc.).

Geez, if you're going to make strong password rules, be more thoughtful
about it.  Must be at least so long, but if you type in a long phrase,
we'll let you type in normally (see what you type, and not have to type
in bloody leet-speak).

Though I've once set a pass phrase to what my opinion of a website was,
because of their damned rules, then had to read it back to their support
staff over the phone, later on.

Long ago I gave up on using Windows (TM) [Tantrum Machine], and I've
never regretted it.
