Password recovery that does not require current password

Discovered that to change a password the attendee would need to know their current password to change to a new one. Obviously, most events are not long enough to have this be an issue, as you can just send magic links, but something to consider.

  Yes, password management is very odd. It would be nice if users are prompted to create a password when they first click the welcome email link.

  Hi Chris,

  The first time someone clicks into their invitation, they are prompted to set their password, and cannot continue until they do so, just as you describe!  I think the request here is more associated with users who forget their password, but need to know their forgotten password in order to make a change.

  Thank you, Jen. It appears to only be the staff invitations that do not prompt the user to create a password. This has caused some confusion, and it would be great if staff were also prompted to create a password.
