Hello BayCHI community,

I'm wondering what the community thinks about the request to confirm 
your email address and your password on registration forms.

I can see pros and cons for both sides of the argument. The main benefit 
that I see for requiring a confirmation field would be to ensure that 
the information has been entered correctly. In some registration forms 
this probably has greater necessity.

While the con would be complicating and extending a task that people 
generally dislike and wish to finish as quickly as possible. As well, 
unless copy and paste has been disabled, many people copy the first 
entry and paste it in the confirmation field.

Thank you for your thoughts,

Ryan
