- NathanKP 17y agoVery true. I could probably remove the second password field without any loss.
- blasdel 17y agoThe second password field is necessary to avoid confusing your users. It's the only element that can cleanly disambiguate between a normal 'sign in' and a clean 'sign up'.
- derefr 17y agoOr, even more spartan, don't ask for a password: the sign up box would just be an email address field with a button labeled "Sign Up" next to it. You could autogenerate the password and let them change it later, or just ask for it once you click the emailed link. As well, you could reformat the address recipient part into a valid username and default to that, but offer then the option of changing it any time in the first 48 hours, as a preference.
