Correct a password confirmation mismatch

Make the two password fields agree without weakening the password.

Updated 2026-11-11

A password confirmation mismatch means Password and Confirm password contain different values. The check prevents a mistyped password from becoming the credential you need for the next sign-in.

Clear both fields and enter the intended password again. If you use a password manager to generate it, copy the same generated value into both fields. Avoid generating a second password for the confirmation field. Check keyboard language, capitalization, and accidental spaces.

The signup form requires at least eight characters. A longer unique password is preferable to reducing the password simply to make it easier to retype. Use the field’s visibility control only when your screen is private, and hide the value again before sharing a screenshot.

After account creation, verify your work email. If you are unsure which password was ultimately saved, use Forgot password rather than making a second account with a different email. For support, report that the mismatch appeared during signup and include the exact visible error. Neither the password nor a screenshot with the password revealed is needed to diagnose the form behavior.
