Should you have a confirm password field?
While the confirm password field seems sensible, including it can lower your conversion rate. A research study found that the confirm password field was responsible for over a quarter of all users that abandoned their sign up form.
What is the purpose of a password field?
Passwords provide the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your computer and personal information. The stronger your password, the more protected your computer will be from hackers and malicious software.
Should you give out your password yes or no?
You should not give anyone your password, ever.
This way, their actions are documented in such a way that any activities performed during the time they know your account's password can readily be attributed to them.
Why should you never submit passwords through Google Forms?
UAB will never ask for your password via email. To avoid having your information stolen, please make sure you do not give out your passwords in any Google forms. Your credentials and other personal or financial information could be stolen if you fill out one of the forms.
