[Catalyst] Change user password

[Bogdan Lucaciu]

I think you're best off using 'check_password' from Credential::Password

Take a look at it:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/FLORA/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10016/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Credential/Password.pm

Assuming the user is authenticated, you should try:

$c->get_auth_realm('default')->credential->check_password($c->user,
{password=>$pass});
