installer shows two password fields without explaing why

[Fernando Miguel]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

installer shows two password fields without explaining why, or that the users needs to enter it twice to make sure s/he did not do a mistake.

This is an usability bug.

iam the user that Bugabundo talked about it in the post before, because installers shows two passwords fields without explaining why . I suggest you to put two words before the second field saying something like this : " ... Re-Enter PassWord ..."

The user interface already says "Enter the same password twice, so that it can be checked for typing errors" immediately below the two password entry boxes.

Colin not in our version (at least I dont remember seeing it there!)

It was in Portuguese, so MAYBE it's a language/string bug?

Please show me a screenshot.

Thanks Filipe.
The image really shows a text message explaining it.
Nuno can you confirm that this was the screen you saw?

I have a small idea I saw it a bit different, where even the password fields were not aligned.

If Nuno confirms this was the correct view, this ticket can be marked as invalid.
