I followed this tutorial on how to attach the strength meter to the form.
https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/using-the-included-password-strength-meter-script-in-wordpress--wp-34736
I also add this function to echo the span for the JS to bind to.
add_action( 'rwmb_profile_before_submit_button', 'password_strength_meter_field' );
function password_strength_meter_field( $config ) {
if ( 'register-form' === $config['form_id'] ) {
echo '<span id="password-strength"></span>';
}
}
