Description

Actual Behaviour

On this picture from nextcloud/registration#276, i realised these buttons (or their order) are a bit confusing....
Just seeing this, it looks to me like one should press the register-button for forgotten passwords.
Any thoughts on this? @jancborchardt @nextcloud/designers

Expected behaviour

Non-confusing order 😉

Steps to reproduce
  1. Have Registration activated
  2. Open Login page

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Registration activated, then open the login page and compare the placement and order of the “Forgot Password” and “Register” buttons with the attached screenshot. Review the existing discussion for an agreed ordering, and consider the work done when the two actions are clearly distinguishable and no longer suggest registering to recover a password.
