I had to reset a password on a site, for the first time IIRC. Three things.
1. Usability has been reduced considerably by making the second password box (labelled "Password (again)") a text box you are unable to paste in:
<input id="lbpasswordagain" name="passwordagain" type="password" size="15" placeholder="Password (again)" maxlength="25" onpaste="return false;"/>
There is no such restriction on the first password box.
Can that restriction be taken away please? It just makes things considerably more difficult when trying to use long complex passwords and pasting them in from a password manager such as Keepass.
2. The "maxlength" parameter of the "lbpasswordagain" input field is 25 but the same paramenter of the "lbpassword" is 100. These should match.
3. Because of (1) I had to manually enter a new long password and, of course, I got it wrong. I saw the below error message - there is no space between the 2 phrases "Passwords do not matchUser name or password incorrect"
(This was using a 2.1.6 site).

Re: Reset password annoyances
Already logged as a bug and fixed.
Certainly in 2.2.4 all the max-lengths match now and you can paste.
The error message now seems to work in a slightly different way as well so the spelling error doesn't apply either.
Happy Birthday for the other day btw.
