** Description changed: When creating a user or changing the password for an existing user, if the Password: and Confirmation: text fields do not match, the following error message is displayed: Check that you have provided the same password in both text fields. - 1. There is more than one text field, so the use of "both" is incorrect. More helpful would be to refer to the labels of both text fields that need to match + 1. There is more than two text fields, so the use of "both" is incorrect. More helpful would be to refer to the labels of both text fields that need to match 2. The use of the label "Confirmation:" is jargon that assumes an existing familiarity with the practice of entering a password twice. A label such as "Enter your new password a second time:" would be more helpful. This is not just theoretical - I am assisting novice Ubuntu and novice - computer users who find this genuinely confusing. Some have enet tried + computer users who find this genuinely confusing. Some have even tried entering their new password twice - in the Password box (side by side) - "Confirmation" was a meaningless phrase to them.
