Feature request: password confirmation field

[steph643]

It seems there is no password confirmation field when creating an account or changing the password in the dropdown (although there is one in the reset password modal). Don't you think it is standard practice to have one?

Having a confirmation field would have an additional benefit: right now, when user clicks "create account", the change in the dropbox is not significant (same dropbox size, same buttons at the top). This makes users wonder if something actually happened. Having an additional field would significantly change the dropbox, hence providing better click feedback.

Hi @steph643, there is no confirmation field because since the user signs up with their email, they can use the "Forgot password?" link to reset it. If you set the signup fields to "USERNAME_ONLY" then it will show the password confirmation field. This is the same behaviour as in the standard accounts-ui package.

What you are saying makes perfect sense. However, I think many people expect a confirmation field in a "create account" dialog.

Ok, in fact there is a huge debate over this (just check password confirmation field in Google). The usual conclusion is that you can remove the confirmation field at the condition that you provide a "show password" checkbox.

Anyway, I think users of your package should be able to choose.
