When you fill in a form to sign up to a website, the password field,

And sometimes when they aren't asterisked, you have to type the
password in twice, but not the username. What's the rationale for
that?
I guess there isn't one ;)
you can READ the username field to see if it is correct.
you cannot tell from the asterisks if the PW is typed correctly. only
retyping it exactly the same way can confirm that.
