Registration Simplifier 1.3.1 shortens signup: username and confirm password are hidden, email is placed before password, and email becomes the login ID on the server. No jQuery required.

What Registration Simplifier can do for you
02 Email login
Email is the login ID
Hide the username field. The email address is saved as the username on the server, so there's one thing to remember.
No username fieldEmail as usernameLogin ID hint
03 Password
One password box
Drop the confirm password field. The password is typed once, and the show-password button helps people check it.
One password fieldFewer typos to fixFaster signup
04 Name
No name field needed
Hide the name field and a display name is built from the email: jane.doe@example.com becomes Jane Doe.

05 Email
No repeat email
Remove the confirm email field on forms that still show it.
No email2 fieldLess typingCleaner form
06 Field order
Email comes first
When you simplify the form, the email field moves above the password, so signup reads in a natural order.
