Description

When a "password" type of text field is requested, the password typed is hidden from the user.

however, this is prone to mistyping the password, unless you copy it from a plaintext field (like first enter it to notepad, then copy it to the pwd-field).

I could imagine a new "password_verify" type, that would have two password fields, where you have to re-type the same password, so you can verify that it is correct, and the UI would only allow to submit the form if the value of the two fields are matched.

However, this would also only still provide a single value, so it could also make sense to replace the current password-type with this...
