Repeat Password does not work in Yii2

I have written rules in the model as:

    public $password_repeat;

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function rules()
{
    return [
        ....
        ....  
        ['password', 'required'],
        ['password', 'string', 'min' => 6],
        ['password_repeat', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'password', 'message'=>"Passwords don't match" ],
    ];
}

If I use different password in Password and Password Repeat field, it gives error. So, that's mean it works. But problem is that, it does not give any error if Password Repeat field is empty.

Another approach is to set the $skipOnEmpty variable to false:

return [
....  
    ['password', 'required'],
    ['password', 'string', 'min' => 6],
    ['password_repeat', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'password', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'message'=>"Passwords don't match"],
];

This has the benefit of allowing you to only make the repeat password field required if password has a value in it too.

Add a required tag for password_repeat as well. Shown below

return [
        ....  
        ['password', 'required'],
        ['password', 'string', 'min' => 6],
        ['password_repeat', 'required'],
        ['password_repeat', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'password', 'message'=>"Passwords don't match" ],
    ];
