Goal
- Prevent users from entering passwords that don’t match the ones that they wanted or that they memorized.
Implementation
Amongst the possible implementations :
- Suggest, after the password entry field, a confirmation field where the password must be entered again and check that the two entries are identical during the submission. In this case, as with all other form fields, make sure to allow copy and paste into form fields.
- Allow users to display their password in clear text.
- Provide a unique login link or code.
Control
In the case of password creation:
- Check that a mechanism for double entry of passwords, generally in the form of two successive fields, is systematically present.
