Why? "Click here to enter text"

Why? "Click here to enter text"

Why is there  "Click here to enter text" text on the enrolment page instead of just having the input box?

I need to show the input box, that extra click (and extra code) is confusing the users.

May be a template question too.  I tried to fix it via CSS but no luck yet.

I am guessing that Moodle implemented this to avoid the autofilling of passwords that was happening on certain pages.  Yes, an extra step but avoids have certain enrollment keys and password automatically update to the user password without them knowing.

seems like a simple autocomplete="off" in the code would solve that issue.

It actually turned out to be quite complicated preventing password fields being auto-filled. If you are interested, MDL-53048 has the details.
