Apparently what it's autofilling the "Current password" field, is whichever value I last put in there. Depending on my current re-install situation, that may or may not be my current password, but either way it causes the form to not submit, unless I manually clear it.
If it is my current password, then it complains about the new password being empty. If it is not my current password, it complains about how it's not my current password. ** Tags added: passwords usability ** Description changed: Every time I go to my account settings screen to change something, - Firefox always pre-fills the first of the two password fields for the - "reset your password" functionality. And so, if I don't go in and - manually clear the field, then it gives me a form validation failure - when I try to submit, because the two password fields don't match. + Firefox always pre-fills the "Current password" field with some obscured + text, which is apparently not my current password.

We need to put a flag on these fields that tells the web browser not to pre-fill either of them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
