Password creation required at checkout

Hi @rosa-bosma ,

When checking out on my client’s website, the form that asks for address details also has a mandatory field to fill in a password. This shouldn’t be there, as the WooCommerce settings on the website currently allow for orders without an account (guest customers).

Users can still create an account, even though they can just checkout as a guest.

If you want to prevent users from creating an account on checkout, then you can disable the Allow customers to create an account during checkout option at WP Admin → WooCommerce → Settings → Accounts & Privacy. See screenshot:

Hi @wpnomad ,

Thank you! Strangely enough, that option in your image was already disabled in WooCommerce. I’m really confused.

Thank you.

Hi @rosa-bosma ,

Thanks for checking that. It is also possible that the password field you’re seeing is for users to log into existing account.

Can you disable the Allow customers to log into existing account during checkout options as well (on WP Admin → WooCommerce → Settings → Accounts & Privacy page), and see if that helps?

If you still see the password field after disabling that option, then please share a copy of your site’s System Status. You can find it via WooCommerce > Status.
Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”.? Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.

Do let us know so we can help further.

Hi @wpnomad, thank you for the feedback, yes that option is also disabled.

I’ve pasted the report below. Thanks so much again!

Hi @rosa-bosma ,

Thanks for sharing the status report.

I checked your site, and I’m not seeing the password field on checkout page, please see the screenshot below:

Link to image: https://i.ibb.co/Z6Cnzv4/no-pass.png

It’s possible that you might be seeing the password field due to your browser’s cache. I recommend clearing cache from your browser and check again. You can clear cache and cookies by following the steps here: https://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache

Hi @wpnomad,

Thank you.

Somehow that’s not what I’m seeing, and multiple customers are reporting the same. I just cleared the website’s cache in WordPress as well as my browsers’ caches and cookies. But the problem still persists in all browsers. This is what I’m seeing on the actual page:

Hi @rosa-bosma ,

Somehow that’s not what I’m seeing, and multiple customers are reporting the same.

That’s strange because I’m not seeing the password field on other browsers as well. Here’s a screenshot from Firefox:

Your webhost may be using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) – that may cause previous layout to be cached and displayed to users of certain regions. I recommend reaching out to your host to check if there are any server-side caching or CDN enabled, and refresh them.

If that doesn’t help, then please conduct a conflict test as per the steps outlined here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-self-service-guide/#section-4

Hi @wpnomad,

I reached out to the webhost. If they can’t help/don’t use CDN or caching, I will do the conflict test next week.

Thank you!
