In a registration page the user is asked to enter a password. There are some (simple) rules for the password, so if the user enters "123" the text "password is too simple" will appear beside the input field. In the second password field if the password entered matches the password in the first, the message "passwords match" is displayed beside the second password input field.
My question is should "passwords match"/"passwords don't match" still be displayed even when the password entered does not meet requirements? Note that the password is only checked in the first password input box to see if it meets requirements.
EDIT: I forgot to add that if the user has entered passwords in both fields and goes back to the first and makes and changes the second field is automatically cleared.
