Dear Sir/Madam,

I know I can insert below code to a User Form for a user to change the password, but how can I ask user to refill his/her existing password as validation? I need it because I don't want user to change other user password if the last user forget logout.

[cred_field field='user_pass' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
[cred_field field='user_pass2' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

Best regards,

Kelvin.

Hi Kelvin

I'm not sure how that would work, I'll have to check with my colleagues.

We don't have a field where users must enter their current password, and I can't think of a workaround that requires them to log out and enter their password to log back in again that makes sense.

I'll ask in the developer meeting tomorrow to see if anyone has a suggestion.

Hi Kelvin

I checked with the developers and they say there is no way to implement this currently and asked that you file a request for a confirm-password field to be added: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
