Form validation: keyup or blur

I'm creating a sign-up form and I've noticed some disadvantages to validating (in jQ) using both keyup and blur. For example, in the "Re-enter password" field, validating on keyup will cause the warning ("Passwords do not match") to appear when the user first tabs into the field, but validating on blur has the disadvantage that the warning might still show even if the passwords DO match (but the user hasn't moved on).

Any standard work-around, or tricks that I'm missing?
