On the Form Designer page for User/Signup and User/Account, when editing the field settings for user_passwd1 and user_passwd2 we are warned with a bright yellow alert header:
"This field is required for proper functionality - do not make inactive or change the field type, validation or group fields!"
OK. But...
(1) when I look at the display settings that control who gets to see a field, I find that the Password fields are displayed only to the "Normal Users" group. Since my signup quota is a quota for "Power Users", should I add the "Power Users" group here?
(2) At the bottom of the field settings, the box "Required" is unchecked. This goes against common sense for a signup form that requires password settings.
Have I accidentally changed this at some point? Perhaps not many people are joining my network because they don't have to enter passwords when signing up, and might fail in their attempt to set up an account as a result, without me ever knowing.
But that warning sign seems to be telling me not to change anything. If I check the box for "Required" is that in effect a second step needed to make it "Active"? (My "Active" box is checked on). Perhaps the warning box can use wording that explicitly says, please leave the "Required" checkbox unchecked (or checked, as the case may be).
