Juan Sabala You explained it perfectly and I agree with you. That browser setting would be nice to hide for those of us who feel it’s unnecessary. I also see that evaluating the target audience could also apply. If the site is geared towards tech savvy individuals it’s more than likely not needed, where-as if the target audience is of the older generation it may be appropriate. Great insight, thanks Juan!
Thanks, Juan. When writing this article, I thought quite a bit about this exact point. The rational that I use for authentication forms is that the website has a 'forgot password' feature. If a user input the wrong password during signup, they can just as easily reset that password and request a new one to be sent to them. What do you think about that approach?
