comment Why should we ask the password twice during registration?
@BenBrocka: Could this example solve major part of problems? Problems like: asking password once, showing password for avoiding mistakes and hiding password for security.

comment Why should we ask the password twice during registration?
"the second password type validates that both the txt matched" - if user switched to french language keyboard accidentally but he wanted to type the password with english letters. So user thinks he is in English but he typed twice french letters. Both "french" passwords match each other and registration was successful but user remember the "english" password. So user cannot login because he cannot enter his "english" password because it is saved as "french". The best solution for this is to give option to show the password and there is no need to ask the password twice.

comment Why isn't the “remember me” checkbox in login forms enabled by default?
@JonW: ok, lets try to imagine something :) What if the developers, who developed first login forms never invented "rem me" checkbox? What if Google or facebook will remove this checkbox? Would it be problem for you? IMHO after some time of using without "rem me" you would think that it is not needed at all. I saw many different options in login forms: "rem my computer", "rem me for 1 month", "rem my IP" and combination of few of them. It looks like it is useful for users to have many options but many options spend time for decision and sometime creates confusion or frustration.

the state of "rem me" checkbox in Google login form is setted to the state which user made. And if user logged in with enabled "rem me", than after logout - "rem me" will be enabled.

Thanks for the great answer. I could agree with you about enabled "rem me" by default on popular sites (facebook, google) or secured (PayPal, Ebay). And what about smaller sites? IMHO there is no big risk or security problems to leave "rem me" enabled by default.

@JonW: I am trying to make login form more easy for users on my sites and I decide to enable "rem me" by default and I am trying to find bad effects of it. I tried to enable "rem me" by default for a few days on one site and it does not created problems for users. But it was more easy for users because they was already logged in for the second visit.

@ Jon W: "it sounds like you've made up your mind and are just looking for someone to validate it" - could be. Is it bad? I heard some interesting answers here and I am pretty satisfied of them and even if some of them does not support mine point of view.

@GotDibbs as Myrddin Emrys said: "If you visit Google and log in for the first time, the 'Stay signed in' checkbox is disabled. If you choose to enable it, then it remembers your preference and stays checked the next time you visit." I checked it and it is true: Google offers "rem me" disabled by default and saves users choice to cookie.

+1, Yes, you are right, "rem me" is disabled by default for the first time and user's choice about this checkbox saved to cookies. Ok, so Google offers "rem me" disabled and saves users choice. Does this solve problem with public computers? If prev user checked "rem me" checkbox and will logout, so the next user will see "rem me" enabled too. IMHO, majority of users would rather have "rem me" enabled by dafault and they could uncheck it if they want to.
