I would like to create a simple live view form of for Pow User. The form will call “validate” action, every time the field change, as defined in the Controller.

I tried to use pow_changeset/2 and password_changeset/3 both somehow clear password when I tried to input the password_confirmation, and vice versa. Is there any other way to validate that without clearing the other field?

Hi @yos1p, this is documented in the LiveView docs:

https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/form-bindings.html#password-inputs

For security reasons, password field values are not reused when rendering a password input tag. This requires explicitly setting the :value in your markup

<%= password_input f, :password, value: input_value(f, :password) %>
<%= password_input f, :password_confirmation, value: input_value(f, :password_confirmation) %>
