Event registration -- Authenticate to access the event

[dwf]

I have two problems with this page/message/step in the registration process

- First, why do event prospects get a somewhat terse message instead of a friendly registration page? 

- Second, the message is plain wrong stating: "...to ACCESS the event". <-- This makes no sense as the action here is to REGISTER.

I realize I can turn off Authentication, but then I get a barebones registration page, and when I (test) click the Register button, Zoom opens! 

Hopefully the problem here is I'm not clicking the right buttons?!? Help appreciated...
