Description

Password and Confirmation are marked as required in UsersController#edit page. However, in actuality, those fields are only required when creating a new user, not when editing a user.

One of my customers misunderstood that the fields are required and they always set a new password when they edit a user's information.

"*" marks that indicate Password and Confirmation fields are required should be removed when editing a user in order to avoid such confusion.
