It seems there have been some changes to the signup form recently..?

**Relevant to this topic: [Required fields not shown as required🞲 during sign up](https://meta.discourse.org/t/required-fields-not-shown-as-required-during-sign-up/170052)**

No fields are marked as required.

**Tangent to that topic:**

Field instructions—which I think used to be static—are now shown only when a field has focus. Which is fine, but instructions only show for Email:

None of the other fields’ instruction text appears:

Also, the tab order is… out of order.

These strike me as minor fixes – I hope we can get this “first impression” space touched up!
