Is it considered acceptable practice to not include a 2nd password verification text field?
I can see that there's less friction in the process (1 less field to fill out). Perhaps since this is a specific lightbox call to action instance and not the traditional register page, there is no password confirmation text field (meaning the full fledged register page would have a pw confirm field).
- ernestipark 16y agoI have not used a second password verification text field in some of my sites. While I have not tested it, I prefer it. Instead, if someone thinks they have mistyped their password, they might just retype the whole thing. Or, I give them an option to "show" or "hide" the password which toggles between password dots and normal characters.
- mattcurry 16y agoI found that when I removed the second password field users thought they were signing instead of registering. This lead to users creating multiple accounts and panic-y emails about lost data.
