Remove confirm password field from mobile account creation form
Open, HighPublic

Description

If T419413: Add reveal password action to mobile account creation form is implemented, we may test if the "Confirm password" field becomes redundant - given that users can verify their password visually instead of retyping it.

User story & summary:

As a new user creating an account on mobile web, I want to register without having to type my password twice so that the form is shorter and faster to complete.

Background & research:

The confirm password field exists to prevent typos, but with a reveal password action in place (T419413), users can visually verify what they've typed. Removing the field reduces form length by one input - meaningful on mobile where screen space is limited and every field adds friction. Most platforms in the comparative analysis (T410558) that offer password reveal do not require password confirmation.
