Validation for password confirmation field does not work after submitting a form with invalid fields

Symptoms

In some cases, the validation for the “repeat password” field does not work after submitting a form with invalid fields.

The issue happens if you have a user field and add an invalid value to it, as already existing email. After submitting the form, the page will reload with the error message.

Until this point, there is no problem.

However, after the page reloads, the password and password confirmation fields validation will not work as expected. This means that you will be able to add different values for the password and password confirmation fields.

Workaround

You can use AJAX form submission to avoid this behavior.
