Solution

When using the Auth0 Universal Login, to add a Confirm Password field, there are two options:

  1. Use Signup Prompt Partials
    With partials, a new form element can be added that can act as a second password field. However, it is important to make sure the second field is not sent to Auth0 and kept in the frontend only to avoid the plain-text password from getting attached to the user profile. Here is an example:
<div class="ulp-field">
  <label for="confrimPassword">Confirm Password</label>
  <input type="password" id="confirmPassword" />
  <div
    class="ulp-error-info"
    data-ulp-validation-function="validatePassword"
    data-ulp-validation-event-listeners="change,input"
  >
    Passwords Do Not Match
  </div>
</div>

Keep in mind that the above code may not be production-ready and is meant as an example only.

  1. Use Advanced Customizations for Universal Login (ACUL)
    With ACUL, it is possible to design the signup page freely to add any new elements, including a Confirm Password field. This option requires some development effort.
    More info about ACUL can be found here: Advanced Customizations for Universal Login

If Classic Login is used, customize the Login page using Auth0.js to add new fields. For further information, refer to Auth0.js v9 Reference - Signups
