Description SpeedyGonsales 2009-01-27 21:28:59 UTC
On every mediawiki installation it is possible to copy/paste new password set in field "New password:" into field "Retype new password:".

That behaviour should be prevented.

I noted such behaviour in Firefox (2.0.0.16 & 3.0.5) under linux, under Opera 9.63 it is not possible, so it is possible that is browser bug.

There is nothing we can do for this. It is in the control of browsers (or even in the toolkit) if they allow copy-pasting from one password field to another.
