Comment (by bundleplan):

 Thanks for this ticket! Is there any way to make this work for a frontend
 page? I currently have a theme that allows users to change password by a
 user profile in the front end but after a few days of trying, I can't get
 it to work (I don't know much code).

 I can add the form for current pass no problem, but I just don't know how
 to modify both codes together, the closest I got was I changed the
 password, but not to anything I had put in the blanks.
 Any tutorials on this?

 Also another thing, can you make it so users cannot change other details,
 such as email address, without entering current password? I think it just
 adds more security is all, thanks again!
