Wrong placeholder for password field in the checkout page

[mohitka]

Summary of the issue: Wrong placeholder for password field in the checkout page

Preconditions

1. Magento version: 2.2.3 and 2.2.4
2. Edition: Community Edition (Open Source Edition)

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a product to cart and go to checkout page.
2. Enter any registered email so that the password field appears.
3. The password field shows the placeholder Optional, but when we click on Login button without filling password, it shows the validation error.

Expected result

1. Since the password is a required field, the placeholder for the password field should not be Optional.

Actual result

1. The password field in the checkout page is currently seeming conflicting in nature. It is showing Optional in a placeholder, but after validation, it is showing validation error This is a required field.

Hi @mohitka

Do you need to change placeholder text Optional to Password ?

[mohitka]

No @hitesh-wagento I was just working on a project and found this issue. I thought it should be reported for the sake of the good experience of Magento.

I hope the issue would be checked and fixed in the future releases of Magento.
