Summary of Changes
Adds the neccesarry Javascript for the strength meter in the password form field layout.
Testing Instructions / Steps to reproduce the issue
Joomla! does not use any password form field with activated strength meter, so to reproduce the issue you have to edit administrator/components/com_admin/models/forms/profile.xml and add the attribute strengthmeter="true" to the field named password2.
Log in to the backend and navigate to 'My Profile'.
Type in some chars into the 'Password' field.
Expected result
The strength meter should be displayed when typing in some chars into the password input field.
Actual result
No strength meter appears, the Javascript error 'ReferenceError: Form is not defined' occurs.
After applying the patch the password strenght meter should be displayed again.

Thanks!
Any reason why the modification to profile.xml is not included in the patch?
Is there a reason to use the strengthmeter in core?
??
You asked why the modification to profile.xml wasn't in the patch?
And then, I wonder why we have the possibility of a strenghtmeter if we do not use it in core. I am confused.
It is very easy to implement wherever the field is present
registration
My Profile
Installation
Would be nice imho
Except that as shown in the screenshots it is meaningless.
it means something to me as the meter grows in size and changes color from red to dense green.
I can not see the difference between red and green
You realise that the script is Mootools dependant, right?
Can we please stop adding things that completely fail accessibility to Joomla. In this example if you want to do it then you can create a layout override for it on your site.
