Why do you not prompt the user for input twice during the encryption password setup process?
Whenever I ask a customer to set a password for encryption, I always worry that they will make a mistake. Why don't we have them enter the password twice?

Hi Alex,
Thank you for the suggestion -- it can be discussed, however, may I ask isn't the password "peek" button (the eye-ball) when you hover over the input field sufficient to confirm the password is correct?

Obviously that is a fake password, but it should allow you to confirm your entry before committing the password. You can do this while creating passwords as well.

Hi David,
Yes, we can use the peek button to confirm the password. But when customer show password, I need to avoid to see it. Some customers do not want to show it and I am worried about them. Sometimes I ask customer to enter password on Notepad and copy paste it. It is not a big problem, I just can not understand why Veeam does not let password input twice like most applications.
