Is a "Confirm Email" input good practice when user changes email address?
- by dibson
My organization has a form to allow users to update their email address with us.
It's suggested that we have two input boxes for email: the second as an email confirmation.
I always copy/paste my email address when faced with the confirmation.
I'm assuming most of our users are not so savvy.
Regardless, is this considered a good practice?
I can't stand it personally, but I also realize it probably isn't meant for me.
If someone screws up their email, they can't login, and they must call to sort things out.
