claim was validated

Yes, the user is confirming the password change. So you also think that validate and verify is wrong? As a non-native person, I think verify would be also just as good.

Yes, validate and verify would be wrong.

Verify would not be just as good. "Verify" means "to establish that something is true". It comes from the same root as the Latin veritas, "truth". Unless the web site is confirming that the user has entered true information, "verify" does not make sense.

What happens when you click the button? My guess is that the user is confirming that they've entered what they intended. "Validate" or "verify" would suggest that the site was going to do something with the information.

Would you please help me understand the meaning of "enter" you have used here. The use of it might be very simple but the definition, I think, is not.
So is it 5 or 8 in the link?

Yes. Putting information into a form on a screen is often called "entering" it.

Then none of the definitions fit with enter in this sense but do you now any exact synonyms for enter in this sense?

And your is very simple, basic and clear definition.

Thank you.

Thank you. I think definitions 5 and 8 at the site you linked to apply to this usage of "to enter".

Thank you. I think definitions 5 and 8 at the site you linked to apply to this usage of "to enter".

Some people think that "usage" is wrong for such cases and that it should be "use" instead. So as you are also a native speaker, I am confussed.

Thank you.

Who?

I cannot say but I know they are interested in language. As you know, I am not a native speaker and as I referred to I am confused, now I started to think that they sometimes overlap and sometimes not. But when?

Thank you.
