    Disable password change UI when using OpenID Unique Authentication Source
    The "Change Password" option in the user settings is available even though an OpenId identity provider is configured and set as "Unique Authentication Source". Unless some sort of endpoint configuration is implemented in the OpenID plugin settings that forwards password change request to (proprietary) APIs in the IdP, this option should probably be disabled as it will have no effect on authentication and only confuse users.

    Hi,

    In fact when an OpenID Connect provider is used as the only authentication source the notion of password should completely disappear.

    Unfortunately, this option has been explicitly added (story #9658) because some services can not use anything else than a user password. Until we have close the feature gap and that every services can use some sort of key the user can generate (like it's the case for the REST API and the SVN accesses) I'm afraid we might have to keep it.
