Why the confirm password field must die

I agree that the confirm password field should be gone, but disagree on the show facility. You need to toggle the password type to text to show it.<p>Additionally, we should be encouraging people to use password managers. If you want to be able to see your password, look at it there. A single password field with no unmasking is best matched to the password manager use case I think.
