Summary: Password fields for account creation are marked as
required when they are not
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: User login
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The HTML fields for the password and retype password inputs on the account
creation dialog - Special:UserLogin/signup - are marked as required fields
(required="required"). However a password is not always required for account
creation. When creating an account by email using the "by Email" option a
random password will be automatically generated for the new account, and the
password field isn't required. Since the password fields are marked as
required, browsers that enforce the "required" attribute (including Google
Chrome, Opera) will not allow account creation by email without a password
being supplied, while those that don't (Firefox, Internet Explorer) will.
Suggested resolution is to remove the "required" attribute from the inputbox.
