confirmed*

You have a small typo in your rules. It should be:

$rules = array(
        'username' => 'required|alpha_num|min:3|max:32',
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'password' => 'required|min:3|confirmed',
        'password_confirmation' => 'required|min:3'
    );

Just for your knowledge, you don't really need to validate password_confirmation. If it must match password, then it must also have the same validation. :)

I have a similar problem with Password not working with confirmed. If I take |confirmed out of the password parameter it saves the user but allows a password of less than 6 characters. Can you let me know the correct syntax to have min:6 and confirmed working?

public static $rules = [
	'username' => 'required',
	'email' => 'required|unique:users|email',		
	'password' => 'min:6|required',
	'password_confirmation' => 'min:6|same:pass'	
];

'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed  

Solved password validation issue. Please try below method

public static $rules = [ 'username' => 'required', 'email' => 'required|unique:users|email',
'password' => 'min:6|required', 'password_confirmation' => 'min:6|same:password'
];

You can match two form field using (same:field name) this method.
