Description

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

Fixed Issues (if relevant)

1. magento/magento2Wrong placeholder for password field in the checkout page #16378: Wrong placeholder for password field in the checkout page

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.

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.

Expected result

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