Issue
When I want to updates a user's password as an administrator, the system does not require to re-enter my own password for authentication. This is inconsistent with other actions, such as updating a screen name or email address, where password verification is required.
Is it possible to enforce the same security check for password updates?
Resolution
Currently, this feature does not exist within Liferay. An administrator is not required to re-enter their password when changing another user's password.
A feature request has been created to address this potential security enhancement in a future release. You can monitor the status of this request by following the ticket below:
