THEY DO THAT SO THEY CAN VERIFY YOUR PASSWORD. jUST THINK OF IT THIS WAY THE COMPUTER IS TRYING TO SAVE YOUR PASSWORD IN THE HARDRIVE SO IF YOU CHANE COMPUTERS NOT HARDRIVES IT WILL BE IN THERE, ALSO THE COMPUTER IS NOT FAMILIER WITH IT. Its called validation. The page or program is validating one to the other to make sure they match, which means that you didn't mistype it. Passwords are usually unreadable when you input them. Because of this, if you mistype it you cannot tell. Validation help to prevent this.
