You can do this with react hook forms alone. You can use watch from react hook form to get this done. This lets you listen for changes in the password field, which you can use in your confirm password validate method to compare the password with the confirm password field value as show below;

const {register, watch} = useForm();
<input
 {...register("password", {
  required: true
 })}
/>
<input
 {...register("confirm_password", {
  required: true,
  validate: (val: string) => {
    if (watch('password') != val) {
      return "Your passwords do no match";
    }
  },
 })}
/>

You should use yup and @hookform/resolvers for validation definitions to easily configure it.

  const formSchema = Yup.object().shape({
    password: Yup.string()
      .required("Password is required")
      .min(4, "Password length should be at least 4 characters")
      .max(12, "Password cannot exceed more than 12 characters"),
    cpassword: Yup.string()
      .required("Confirm Password is required")
      .min(4, "Password length should be at least 4 characters")
      .max(12, "Password cannot exceed more than 12 characters")
      .oneOf([Yup.ref("password")], "Passwords do not match")
  });

const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    formState: { errors },
    reset,
    watch,
    getValues
  } = useForm({
    mode: "onTouched",
    resolver: yupResolver(formSchema)
  });

And change register calls to only contain the name of the filed.

<input
    ...
    ...
    {...register("password")}
></input>

<input
    ...
    ...
    {...register("cpassword")}
></input>
