Password field in 'Edit User' when using Auth

I'm using the Auth component for my site, but having problems when it
comes to editing a user. I want it so that the user can go to the
page 'Edit My Account', and see their current information, change
whatever they want, and save it.

The problem is with the password field. If it is shown (with *s),
it's the hashed version which is shown, so it's really long. When the
user saves the password, it gets hashed again. The same happens if
it's a hidden field.

If it's not shown, and there's just a blank field, firstly the user
may wonder why the field is blank, and type something in there, but
more importantly, they will then save a blank password.

Is there any way around this, or do I just have to have 'Change
Password' on a different page, and on the Edit page use an update
instead of a save (so that the password field can be left out
altogether)?

Thanks.
