-------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 In the settings dialogue at https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/XXX/account
 we have tghe password change fields. However, they are not named "change
 password" or "enter new password" or the like, but just "password".

 I would suggest to add a sentence like "Please enter your new password if
 you want to change it" above the input fields, or rename the field labels
 "Enter new password" and "Confirm new password".

 German locale translation of the strings is at
 rails/config/locales/de.yml#L1699

 This has recently caused confusion for at least one user
 (https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/19869/how-to-change-or-renew-
 the-osm-password).
