update password when I edit profile

It seems like everytime I make a small edit to my profile and I hit the "update" button I have to also put in my password in order for the changes in my editing to be saved.

I get this:

"Verify Password" "Please enter the same value again."

Why do I need to put a password in everytime I update my profile? How do I turn this off?

Your browser is doing autocomplete on the password field is my guess. We already set autocomplete="false" for the password field, but would seam your browser is ignoring it. You'll need to clear autocomplete for your site within your browsers settings. If you're using an extension like LastPass it will completely ignore the autocomplete attribute and you'll need to edit the forms that stored password is configured to fill.
