Password Check on Login

When logging in, it checks the password in the same way as a new account, which really doesn't make sense.

I'd like to push back and discuss this more. One thing that annoys me when I'm logging into a site after a while is I never know the password requirements it forced on my on signup. I kind of like having the validation even in the login form because it tells me, "yea what you just typed in wasn't strong enough - it's probably the other longer password you use".

That does make sense, though I think it would be good to change the graphic/color/etc to make it clear it's not checking the password itself. Even though no service would check live like that, it feels confusing to see a green check if the password may be wrong.
