Phew, actually I'm glad you dislike this stupid behaviour. > I wonder whether, instead of (in addition to?) this patch, we should > add a notice that getting the email address right is very important > and that you will be locked out without any chance to recover if you > make a typo. I'm more in favour of a message only, entering email addresses twice is a nuisance and if you can copy-paste the data, it doesn't serve a purpose other then to frustrate a user (I fear lots of people don't understand the meaning of the same field twice). Instead showing a notice seems better to me, though it doesn't look that nice: https://ptpb.pw/em7S.png Suggestions?
