Answer 1

As has been mentioned in other answers, there is no pure HTML5 way to do this.

If you are already using JQuery, then this should do what you need:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#ourForm').submit(function(e){
      var form = this;
      e.preventDefault();
      // Check Passwords are the same
      if( $('#pass1').val()==$('#pass2').val() ) {
          // Submit Form
          alert('Passwords Match, submitting form');
          form.submit();
      } else {
          // Complain bitterly
          alert('Password Mismatch');
          return false;
      }
  });
});

<form id="ourForm">
    <input type="password" name="password" id="pass1" placeholder="Password" required>
    <input type="password" name="password" id="pass2" placeholder="Repeat Password" required>
    <input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
