Magento1.9.1 Please make sure your password match issue

Question

I am encountering this issue in CE1.9.1.

When a User registers (doesn't matter if its during checkout or from the Create an Account link) the user keeps getting the password mismatch error even though the password is re-entered correctly.

The form validation does not indicate a miss-match, but once a user clicks on Register it returns the mismatch error.

There is no errors in the chrome console...

I found this: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/37381/please-make-sure-your-passwords-match-password-error-in-checkout-with-new-re

But I don't believe it is the same error.

I need to fix it soon, any help is greatly appreciated!

We also had this issue with 1 of our webshops. However we used a checkout extension. So im not sure if this applies for the regular standard checkout. Anyway.

The question should be, are u using a checkout extension?

If so, the value inside the model's file of that extension is set at:

 $customer->setConfirmation($password);

but should be:

$customer->setPasswordConfirmation($password);

For me this worked, without changing anything in the core. It's just that the extensions should get a small update, or you can do it manually like i did. Just find that line in the files of the model map of your extension.
