I 100% agree with:

You don’t need the password confirmation since he can restore it via reset password form.

I don't know about anyone else, but I just Ctrl-A,Ctrl-C, then Ctrl-V the password into the confirmation box, thus totally defeating the whole point of it being there.

But I DISAGREE with the example used for this :

Put frequently used options on top

The example given is a countries list that has the USA at the top, then all the countries below it in alpha order. This is offensive to anyone who isn't in the USA - it basically screams 'we made this app/service for Americans, you global users need not apply'.
