Magento 1.9 – Password Does Not Match Issue

customermagento-1.9password

for some reason, in recent weeks my customers are getting "password does not match" errors when making accounts etc.

I know there is a known issue on 1.9.1.0, but I am using 1.9.0.1

Does anyone have a fix or workaround that applies to 1.9.0.1?

Enable template path hints and look in template for this line:

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

If this is missing, add it in your template file.

Children of class Mage_Customer_Model_Customer should use getPasswordConfirmation() instead of getConfirmation()

Upd: In class Mage_Customer_Model_Customer, method validate() was changed

Before v1.9.1:

$confirmation = $this->getConfirmation();

After:

$confirmation = $this->getPasswordConfirmation();

Looks like this is a known bug in Magento CE 1.9. You can try this extension to fix it temporarily.
