Password changes not verified when editing user

Confirmed. For what it's worth, it takes the password from the "Password" field, and "Verify Password" is basically doing nothing.

Jason -- do you recall if this worked in earlier versions?

I've not explicitly tested it before, but I believe so. I started looking into it because lately we're having a lot of people get their passwords set at a staff desk and they don't work immediately after.

This problem is fixed in 2.5.2. If the two fields don't match, you get a "Form is invalid. Please edit and try again." message. Yay!

Holly, did you try it when editing a patron, or when registering them? I just edited a patron on 2.5.2 and it appears to still be broken.

Yep, I was editing an account. If I put 1111 in the Password field and 2222 in Verify, it threw up the message. Just tried it again....

Just registered a fake account, and as soon as I start typing a different password in the Verify box, that small message points to the box and says the value is invalid. If I ignore that message and move onto the next field, the yellow explanation mark shows in the Verify field. It won't let me save the registration if they don't match.

So, for ME in 2.5.2, the Verify field is working properly for both editing existing patrons and registering new ones.

Weird. What else could be different between our systems that could cause different results? We upgraded to 2.5.2 last week on 2/19/14. We were on 2.3.4 previously, so we did 16 upgrades in between to get there, including the 2.3-2.4 supplemental.sh.

I brought this problem up when I discovered it the first week after our migration last year. The only thing I can think of is that Galen somehow patched our system during that time.. but the last email I have on record is from me confirming that it was happening in the staff client, not OPAC. But he's awesome like that, so he may have done something I just never noticed that it was fixed until this week.

I just tested this in master and had the same results as Jason. It worked for new patrons, but not when I was editing a patron.

Unless I'm missing something, there is no Verify field in the web client, so marking this one Won't Fix.
