Error is not highlighted when username is correct, but not enough characters in password

When registering a new forum, there’s a few inconsistencies in how Discourse displays errors when signing up.

With blank username and password:

When username entered, but password field is blank, can’t be blank error is shown, but input is not highlighted:

When registering with less than required characters, there are no red highlights and also no errors:

So I can understand better, is this referring to user creation on a forum or a different signup? I am seeing a different screen when creating an user:

This is the initial admin account creation screen, which is slightly different than the normal signup form

I had the same problem when creating my administrator accounts 3 weeks ago. I chose a password under 15 characters, but there was no error message, and I had to puzzle over it. After I chose a longer password, the account was created.

@featheredtoast I’m trying to reproduce this and I’m having some trouble.

When I spun up a new trial site, I couldn’t reproduce any of these errors.

• No errors are shown when you have blank username / password; the Continue button is disabled.
• No error is shown when username is entered and password is blank; same thing as above — the Continue button remains disabled.
• I see an informative error when my password is too short.

This is just a new trial through the /pricing page. Where are you seeing you errors?

Sorry if it’s not clear - this is the initial signup given to an admin signup, I believe this is only available through a self-hosted site, not one through Discourse’s hosting.

There’s a completely separate sign up form after you get the “congratulations you installed Discourse”, this is the full screenshot of the signup page in question:
