Improve how a user changes their password

As far as I know, the only mechanism provided to allow users to change passwords is to use the Login.ShowPasswordChangeForm(), which is pretty cumbersome and not obvious how to use (to me anyway). This form takes a SFSUsersBO and then that BO must be saved if the user actually entered information that would change the password. I.e. currently the following is needed to change a users password: Using userBO as New SFSUsersBO() userBO.FillByPrimaryKey(SecurityBasics.CurrentUser.UserPK) If Login.ShowPasswordChangeForm(userBO) Then userBO.Save() End If End Using Seems to me there could easily be a method (or two...or overloads) to more easily allow for the changing of a users password: Public Function ChangeCurrentUsersPassword() Return ChangeUserPassword(SecurityBasics.CurrentUser.UserPK) End Function Public Function ChangeUserPassword(userPK As Integer) Dim changed As Boolean Using userBO as New SFSUsersBO() userBO.FillByPrimaryKey(userPK) If Login.ShowPasswordChangeForm(userBO) Then userBO.Save() changed = True Else changed = False End If End Using Return changed End Function With some function like this, only a single line of code would be needed and it would be pretty obvious how to implement it!
