Maybe it’s a bit of an exaggeration to call this a bug, but I guess strictly speaking it is: If you set a confirmation type field as required at sign-up, there is no asterisk next to it like with the other field types when they are required.

To be more specific about the issue described here: the confirmation field (tick-box) is correctly required at sign-up, it just doesn’t show that it is with the asterisk.

I created a new account and I could create one without creating/putting a Name in the “Name” column. So, if it is required, should I work on this and put an asterisk with fields which our required?
Could you please help!

By default the full name is not required. See setting `full name required`.
Would turning this setting on answer your question?

`/admin/settings` you can then search for it.
