I was surprised by the comment about contrast, knowing that the /r/blind community switched to Lemmy.
Just had a look at what https://rblind.com/ looks like. Hm, yeah, definitely different.
About the double input for password, Google still uses it, so it seems to still be an industry standard
Confirm password fields reduces conversion rates. Google has such a chokehold on the market that I doubt they care about that and might be more interested in potentially reducing password reset traffic after miss typed password inputs. Though in fairness I think it's doubtful if there is even a benefit in that area from having confirm password fields. At least if you have a proper unmasking or "show password" option while registering.
I just tried on both Voyager and Photon, and indeed none of them have an "unmask" button for the passwords. @[email protected] and @[email protected], do you think it would be possible to add that?
Ironically, the default Lemmy UI does:
Argh I wish browsers handled that themselves for password inputs
If a website doesn't let me view a password, I use the inspect element to change the input type.
