    The password confirmation field in the registration form does not allow copy/paste. Is this the intended behavior? That would be a big problem and quite an issue in terms of usability.

    Hi,
    Yes, this is intentional and common usability for confirm password field. If you want to remove it, you have to customize with JavaScript.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    I do understand your approach. But you should make this at least optional. It is by no means common these days, but thankfully a rare exception. Honestly, it seems like a relict of 1999. I can’t even remember the last time I had to fill in the password confirmation manually. I’ve never understood why this would enhance security. Modern bots don’t rely on scripts that need copy/paste. WordPress itself does allow copy/paste during the install. For me, this is clearly a deal breaker for using the plugin. Could you provide a code snippet for removing it?

    Hi,
    Which registration form part are you using? Separate registration form or login & registration form together?

    Hi,

    “Separate Registration Form” is NOT checked. So, both forms are together.

    Sorry to bother you again. You should consider to remove the function entirely. I can’t see how this would add any enhanced security.
