Change password

At the end of this guide, you will have a working change password form that allows authenticated users to update their account password from their profile page.

The change password component adds a password update section to the user's profile page. Users must enter their current password for verification before setting a new one, preventing unauthorized password changes if a session is compromised.

The component includes:

• Current password verification
• New password with confirmation field
• Constant-time password comparison for security
• Flash message on successful update
