Ok, so, for the record, I'm an idiot. :-) My app was generated with the admin wizard. Apparently when I was just starting to get my web2py feet wet, I went in and tinkered very early on and marked the password field as writable=False ... removing that allows for a password and repeat/verify password field to show up. Sorry for the hassle. --Doug
P.S. I've created an issue in the tracker requesting that perhaps the wizard use the extra_fields mechanism instead of creating the auth_user table from whole cloth. Would just make it easier to prevent this kind of self-foot-shooting, but more importantly it means not having to keep the code in synch between the gluon code and the admin application. Not a big deal though.
