Make password optional at account_edit?

[JoeWoodworker]

Many of our customers get frustrated at the account_edit page. They usually just want to correct a typo in their address but the account_details form forces them to enter their password (twice) before continuing. This is a hassle for some of them who just cant seem to remember their password.

 

I tried duplicating the account_details.php file and calling is "account_details_account_edit.php"

Then I just removed the password fields from this new file.

Then I updated the account_edit.php file so that it uses the new account_details_account_edit.php file.

 

I thought this would bypass that part of the form. But it still requires the password to continue.

 

I would prefer if the password fields were shown but were optional (only at the edit account page).

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
