Add password confirmation field to the registration page #822

Closed

Description

@justinwb

We have seen many cases of users entering their password into the "Full Name" field thinking that it was a password confirmation field because it comes immediately after the single password input.

We need to add a second password confirmation field on the registration page. This is standard practice, and seen by the amount of people sharing the password as their full name, is causing some credential leakage and some rightfully unhappy users.

    This might be an alternative: Warn users when they enter identical Password and Full Name.

    Fair point but the common convention is to have a secondary password confirmation field. Not following standard UX is what got us into this mess in the first place ;)
