@lindapaiste Can you please assign this issue to me. I am thinking to solve this issue by adding a new input field for Confirm new password here, and add validation in the respected backend controller to check both input passwords are same. thanks!

Hmm, I'm personally not sure if this might be needed here but I might be biased towards having less page elements in general! I'm okay with adding this if having this is a recommended best practice. I'm wondering if adding an eye icon (https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/issues/2466) could be an alternative for addressing this as well?

I could not find any article/report regarding the best practice for this case, but now i also think adding a eye icon should be preferred because having a Confirm Password Field is also hiding the "Social Login" section on majority of the devices.
