Bug Description

On https://login.staging.ubuntu.com/, with the Ubuntu One templates, after you sign in, the personal details page shows two fields, to enter and confirm the password.

I think it's not clear why those text fields are there, because there is no indication that you can use them to change your password.
Maybe it would be clearer if the first field instead of saying "Choose your password" said "Change your password". Or we could add a header saying: "Change your password".

Agreed. The header is a difficult one, because you can also set your 2 factor auth settings. I prefer the change password task to be on a separate page, but that was out of scope for this project. Changing the label to 'Change your password' is an ok temporary fix.

This is a variation of bug 1015514. Here you’ve just signed in, and there you’ve just created an account. But in both cases you’re taken to a page that assumes you want to change your password now, when you almost certainly don’t.
