"Passwords do not match" Validation Error Flashes Briefly Before Successful Sign Up #2117

Description

@juliankepka

Summary
When registering a new account with two identical passwords, clicking "Sign up" briefly shows the error message "Passwords do not match" for a split second before the user is redirected and the account is created successfully.

Current Behavior

  • User enters the same password in both fields.
  • User clicks "Sign up".
  • The error message "Passwords do not match" flashes visibly for a brief moment.
  • The user is then redirected and the account is created successfully.

Expected Behavior
If the passwords match, no error message should appear at any point during the sign up flow.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to the registration page.
  2. Enter any email address.
  3. Enter a password in the "Password" field.
  4. Enter the same password in the "Confirm Password" field.
  5. Click "Sign up".
  6. Observe the error message flashing briefly before redirect.

Impact
The flashing error message is confusing and erodes trust in the registration flow — users may think something went wrong even though their account was created successfully.
