Replacing
return rating.rate > 2;
with
return (rating.rate > 2) || ((!$.data(element.form, 'validator').settings.rules.password.required) && (element.value==''));
in jquery.validate.password.js on line 83 worked for me!
Maybe it’s not the better way to do it, but it works!

I’m running into the same issue as Asodrober. I would like the password meter to work only when the password input is not blank. Is there a way to do this?

Great plugin! But when the password is not a required field, it still fails the validation (saying “too short”) of the form when the field is empty…
$('#form').validate({ rules:{ password:{ required:false, password:true } } }
If it’s not a required field and it’s empty, the validation plugin should take it as valid, isn’t it?
Many thanks!

Thanks Jörn. It seems calling $(“#password”).valid() (without keyup) on its own does the same thing.

@Rob: Yes, there is.

$("#password").keyup(function() {
  $(this).valid();
});

That will validate the input on each keypress.

This only works AFTER the user has tabbed out of the text box. Is there a way to make this work as the user types?
