barebone registration: is password repitition and captcha really essential?


If you design a barebone registration form which only requires email address and password as essentials can you omit the password repetition and captcha without too much technical trouble?



I personally find password repetition a real pain. Although I understand that it reduces the risk of typos and provides an immediate check, is it not better to take the risk of errors in favour of a simpler process and provide a slick recovery process for wrong passwords instead?


Similar with captchas, a pain for the user, should the business not carry the weight of the troubles which occur without captcha instead of the user?
