Should I add a confirm password field in android?


I am new to android, and I just started making a signup activity for my app. I found a number of tutorials like this one.

What really got me confused is that in all of the tutorials the Confirm/Reenter password part is skipped, so my question would be - is this the android standard? Do I need to add only one password field in my app?

I think that even facebook has only one field for password when users register a new account.


Solution

  • After reading this thread, you should no longer believe that your app needs having a password field twice; just once and along with a "Forgot Password?" button.
