During the new user registration, I'm looking for a way to accomplish a couple things regarding password creation.

1) I want to show the password instead of masking it.

I tried adjusting the settings for "Password Echo" by leaving "Key" and "Ascii Number" blank, but that doesn't do the trick.

2) I want to bypass the password-confirmation input. ("Please re-enter your password.")

To do that, I thought I'd create an MPL (to use in place of the prompt) that would copy the user-submitted password string into the input for the "Re-Enter to Verify" prompt. However, I suppose I would need the variable name for the first password string, and the variable name of the second password string ("Re-Enter to Verify:")

Then, I would include those variables in an MPL script like this:
passTwo == passOne

Is this possible? Are those variable names off limits to me? If so, it's all good, but if this can work as easily as I think it would, please let me know.

Thanks.

In order to do this kind of thing you'd have to write your own script (see apply_sample.mps that comes in the default installation).

This is not something I am interesting in adding directly, as security of password is a concern for a lot of people (and the reason why Mystic never stores passwords but instead uses variable iteration 512-bit PBKDF2 hashes)

I didn't know about this file until now. I'm going to work on it.

Thank you!
