Why does it say passwords do not match?
The idea here is that while you initially type in your password, you are getting a "Passwords do NOT match". This is because you have not reentered your password in the confirm password input. Once you reenter it, and if it matches, then it should say Passwords match!.
What does password match mean?
It is used in online application form or social sites to signup account to verify the entered password by user is correct or not. It is the simple method to verify the password matches. First password is stored into a password1 variable and confirm password is stored in password2 variable.
What happens when a user does not have a password on a Linux system?
On some Linux systems like Ubuntu and Kubuntu, the root user does not have a password set. This means that it is not possible to login as root (extra security). To perform tasks as root, the first user is given all sudo rights via the /etc/sudoers.
Should you have a confirm password field?
While the confirm password field seems sensible, including it can lower your conversion rate. A research study found that the confirm password field was responsible for over a quarter of all users that abandoned their sign up form.
