I have created a method to achieve this though in your case, I recommend storing it INPUT STORE in a popup and never displaying it.
So here’s how it works.
Firstly, we have our two values, let’s call them input A and input B in your example; they would be Password and Confirm Password.
We then take a third input titled INPUT STORE and store a statement in the initial content saying Input A's value is not Input B's value: formatted as text. What this means is, if input A is not equal to Input B, we will return a boolean value: true or false.
Now that this is set up, it’s just a matter of setting up a group or text with a conditional statement saying When INPUT STORE's value is yes, the element would become visible and alert the user that the Password does not match.
Disclaimer:
Depending on how you set up this, you may be to read different boolean values, e.g. instead of value is yes, it may require it to be when value is no.
Set your password security settings from your Bubble app settings and simply check if the password field is valid. This part doesn’t answer your question but it helps validating correct passwords.
You need to have a conditional statement on the element itself to display the message. Bubble might have applied some security rules to prevent looking up the pw value within the workflow conditional statement.
p.s you also need to add the conditional for both inputs to not be empty, else it will also trigger if one of them is empty.
In regards to your other suggestion, when I “move” the condition from the Workflow Only when to a Conditional on the element (which I’ve changed from Alert to Text), I get what I’m looking for, with one very minor detail.
That detail is as soon as the user startes typing the Confirm Password field, the text field displays, but it doesn’t go away until after the user leaves the Confirm Password field, even though it displayed after the user typed the first letter of the same field.
I tried this and I’m not making it work. I added a popup to the page, and set the Type of contact to text and the Data source to Input Passowrd (sign up)'s value is not Input Confirm password’s value:formatted as text.
Then in the element I wish to display when the passwords do not match I set a Conditional of When Popup text’s text is “no”. For the record I also tried “yes” and neither condition produces the desired result.
Ignore that the image shows “input is focused” for now.
When I added “input isn’t focused” the text element never displayed.
When I changed it to “input is focused” the behavior is just as if that part of the When didn’t exist.
Upon entering the first character of the Confirm password field, the message shows, but it doesn’t disappear until after the confirm password matches AND I’ve exited the input field.
