Public bug reported:
When creating a user or changing the password for an existing user, if
the Password: and Confirmation: text fields do not match, the following
error message is displayed: Check that you have provided the same
password in both text fields.
1. There is more than one text field, so the use of "both" is incorrect. More
helpful would be to refer to the labels of both text fields that need to match
2. The use of the label "Confirmation:" is jargon that assumes an existing
familiarity with the practice of entering a password twice. A label such as
"Enter your new password a second time:" would be more helpful.
This is not just theoretical - I am assisting novice Ubuntu and novice
computer users who find this genuinely confusing. Some have enet tried
entering their new password twice - in the Password box (side by side) -
"Confirmation" was a meaningless phrase to them.
