I notice that we only ask for a new password once when a user creates a new account. We only ask for a a new password once when an authenticated user chooses to change their password.
Should we ask for it twice when a user uses password reset to create a new password.
I don't feel strongly about this. But, it seems like Backdrop CMS has already made a decision that we don't want to require the double password thing. So, why not be consistent.

Good point. As we're already working on it, why not switch to a single field?
$form['pass'] = array( '#type' => 'password', '#password_toggle' => TRUE, '#password_strength' => TRUE, '#required' => TRUE, );...there's a concern: Changing the form field type could be a contrib-breaker, for instance for passphrase_policy module. This has to be evaluated, though.
Setting the same field to required is a task for a simple bugfix release, changing the form item type requires more evaluation and probably isn't appropriate for a bugfix release.
@stpaultim I'd rather recommend to create a new issue for the form field type change.

I have had a read of what Lando provides, and it's an excellent development tool, and it would solve the problem. But, I would prefer to find out why the problem is there in the first...

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try...

I use Lando (a wrapper for docker) and find settings changes happen straight away
