Make "Current password" field optional in user account form

Created on 5 November 2012, about 12 years ago

The use of a "current password" field is a good security feature in some cases and a complete nightmare in others, should be optional and enabled by default.

For reference there was a discussion about: #889772: Following a password reset link while logged in leaves users unable to change their password

Also, the module "No Current Password" makes the feature optional. It might be merged into core.

    The Current Password field is now optional as I can see in Drupal 9.5x.
    The field becomes mandatory if you fill the Password and Confirm Password fields which means when you are trying to change your password you need to give the old password otherwise for any other change it is not required.

    Changing status to Needs Review. Although I think this can be closed as this is already fixed.
