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).
Ever thought about a password manager? They generate the passwords for you and you just copy&paste. And later they auto fill. More secure, less to remember, less errors.
