<?php
class Login_Form extends Zend_Form
{
    public function init()
    {
        $username = $this->addElement('text', 'email', array(
            'filters'    => array('StringTrim', 'StringToLower'),
            'validators' => array(
                'EmailAddress',
            ),
            'required'   => true,
            'label'      => 'E-mail address',
        ));

        $password = $this->addElement('password', 'password', array(
            'filters'    => array('StringTrim'),
            'validators' => array( array(
                'StringLength', false, array(6,20,'messages' => array(
					Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_SHORT => 'Your password is too short.',
					Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_LONG => 'Your password is too long.',
					)))),
            'required'   => true,
            'label'      => 'Your password'
        ));

        $password2 = $this->addElement('password', 'password2', array(
            'filters'    => array('StringTrim'),
            'validators' => array('Identical'),
            'required'   => true,
            'label'      => 'Retype your password',
        ));

        $login = $this->addElement('submit', 'Sign up', array(
            'required' => false,
            'ignore'   => true,
            'label'    => 'Register',
        ));

        $this->setDecorators(array(
            'FormElements',
            array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl', 'class' => 'zend_form')),
            array('Description', array('placement' => 'prepend')),
            'Form'
        ));
    }

    public function isValid ($data)
        {
            $passTwice = $this->getElement('password2');
            $passTwice->getValidator('Identical')->setToken($data['password'])->setMessage('Passwords don\'t match.');
            return parent::isValid($data);
        }
}

Enjoy.
