[#6192] Password change - a suggestion was created by timstohr
Hi Kyle,

One of the big problems that I can see with the password changing (and yes, I experienced that as well when I used the first version of FB and my brother got to my computer while I was logged in...) is that anyone can change the password WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER THE PASSWORD AGAIN!.

Here is a usecase: User A logs into the site, leaves the room to get himself some coffee. Meanwhile, little brother of A thinks it would be hilarious to change User As password to something rude, User A comes back, works on site and logs out at the end of the day. The next day he cannot log in anymore. He asks brother, and brother has forgotten... User A is then in s**** since he has his work on there.

What I would suggest is that the user has to enter the password again when he changes his main password (eg OLD PASSWORD + NEW PASSWORD = CHANGED PASSWORDS)

Any possibility to have that?

Yup, easy enough to add as another verify field. Will add a parameter to toggle it on/off as well encase someone doesn't want it (just like the verify usage).
