20294,User profile edit: no label on second password field,PhilippeVay,,"When editing a User profile in admin, there are 2 fields for password, the second one asking to ""Type your new password again"".

This second field has neither a {{{label}}} element nor a {{{title}}} attribute associated to it.[[BR]]
The first field has a label, the one in the {{{th}}} element: ""New Password"", correctly associated to the input via its for attribute (e.g. {{{for=""pass1""}}} when the input field has an {{{id=""pass1""}}}).

Any form field should have an associated label (or at least a title) per WCAG 2.0, see the Technique ''[http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-TECHS/H44.html H44: Using label elements to associate text labels with form controls]''. This helps screenreader and other assistive technologies users to understand without a doubt what is the role of each form field, improving the accessibility of the admin and thus ATAG and WCAG compliance of WordPress).

A simple solution would be to use the existing hint ""Type your new password again."" (right after the second password field) as its associated label.[[BR]]
{{{span.description}}} thus becomes:

{{{
<label class=""description""><?php _e(""Type your new password again.""); ?></label>
}}}

This new label isn't styled in italic anymore (because the applied selector is ''span.description'') so, in {{{wp-admin/css/wp-admin.dev.css}}}, one should also add {{{label.description}}} to the existing selector rule and to the one at the end of the same CSS file that removes italic for zh_CN localization.
