Remove Confirm Password from Registration

I want to remove the “Confirm Password” input from the BP registration form. That way, new users can just enter their password once and sign up faster.

I can hide “Confirm Password:” with CSS, but then the form validation will find the field empty.

The best way to resolve this, I think, is to automatically copy whatever the user typed in the 1st password field over to the confirm password field – either as they type it, or when they click “Finished.”

Has anyone done this? Tried it? How did it work out? How did you do it?

Thanks.

Hi there, What BP Theme are you using? For BP Legacy you could get around this with the following code:
```
function bpex_password_validate() {
	if ( isset( $_POST['signup_password'] ) ) {
		$_POST['signup_password_confirm'] = $_POST['signup_password'];
	}
}
add_action( 'bp_signup_pre_validate', 'bpex_password_validate' );
```

You are the best!

Thanks!!

I’m still sorta using both themes via a child-theme for legacy hacks.

Venutius – Do you know how I can do this with Nouveau?

I figured this out based on advice you gave me on a different topic:
```
document.getElementById("signup_password").onchange = function() {myFunction()};
function myFunction() {
 var z = document.getElementById("signup_password");
document.getElementById("signup_password_confirm") .value = z.value;
}
```
Thanks anyway & you are the Buddypress king! 🙂
