Right. It's not as if it will catch an typo. At least not with me, because
I type in my email address in #1, then cut'n'paste it into #2. I also hate
"dark" or "obscured" password entry. It's not as if I put in passwords with
someone standing over my shoulder watching me. And it just messes me up
with some of the complex passwords that I use. So I type the password in on
a text editor, then cut'n'paste it into the web site.
