Changes (by georgestephanis):

 * component:  Application Passwords => Login and Registration


Comment:

 I think this may have gotten lost in the Application Passwords component
 -- when this (by my reading) is intending to address actual password
 change flow.

 I'm adjusting it to the "Users / Login and Registration" component, which
 I believe would be the relevant place for discussing user password change
 flows.

 I believe that generally when a password field is submitted to the site
 with a different password than a password manager expects, it will kick
 off a flow in a password manager to update the existing password, but it
 could vary based on the password manager being used.

 I'd be curious to see a "proof of concept" plugin for an improved, more
 explicit flow, to serve as a proposal for this iteration in core!
