Hi,

That's not what I call "dynamic": the idea behind this ticket was
indeed to provide feedback *before* clicking on the "Log in" button,
just like many forms on the web these days validate input with JS
as they're being filled.

I'm curious why :)

What I had in mind is:

  a. I click "More options"
  b. I see the more options screen
  c. I type an admin password
  d. I type it again in the "Confirm" field
  e. while I'm typing it, and then while I'm wondering whether I want
     to select other options, I'm told if I didn't type the same
     password twice


I'll add this discussion's conclusions to the ticket once we
reach any.

Cheers!
