I think point 3 is a good example of 'less is more' being applied in a wrong manner. Double email-address form fields are indeed silly, but passwords are invisible. The second field is there to catch typos (it is unlikely users make the same typo twice) and copy-paste mishaps.
- sdfx 13y agoBut then again, you can always reset the password if you made a typo. - Username and password should enable you to change the email - Email alone should enable you to reset the password So there is no risk in removing both duplicate fields. But maybe by now it's expected to type in a password twice. Users might be so used to it that it feels wrong to only insert it once.
- Silhouette 13y agoBut then again, you can always reset the password if you made a typo. Exactly. We dropped the "confirm your password" box in our forms a while ago. Related problems since that time: 0. People often forget their passwords anyway, so a streamlined password reset facility seems more practically useful than hassling people to type the same thing twice.
