Editing a user changes the password to what's submitted, which by default is "" 
(empty string).

                 Key: CONTINUUM-839
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-839
             Project: Continuum
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Web interface
    Affects Versions: 1.1
            Reporter: Christian Gruber


On the edit user screen, if you don't elect to change the password, you will 
implicitly change it to what's in the password field by default.  The current 
default state of the page is for the password fields to be empty.  

solutions:

1. Empty passwords should be ignored, (if we assume people MUST have passwords) 
and assumed to mean "no change"

2. The current password needs to be pushed out (not very secure) in the form

3. The form needs to be split on the page into two seperate forms for general 
info editing and for password changes.  This will then not submit the password 
fields when you're, say, just changing the username or e-mail address.
