使用Jquery比较两个密码

我正在尝试比较用户在尝试注册时将输入的两个密码，但是每当密码等于确认密码的密码仍然会抛出错误密码不匹配时. 如果没有输入密码，则有两个阶段，然后会出现一个可以正常工作的错误，但是第二阶段比较两个密码时，该错误始终为真并自行显示.

I'm trying to compare two passwords that a user will enter when trying to register but whenever a password is equal to that of the confirmed password is still throws the error passwords don't match. There's two stages to this if no password is entered then a error is presented that works fine, but the second stage comparing two password the errors is always true and presents it self.

if ($('#password').val() == "") {
     $('.error').append("<li> Please enter a pasword </li>");
     error = true;
    } else if ($('#password') !== $('#password1')) {
     $('.error').append("<li> You password does not match the confirmed password </li>");
     error = true;
    }
