Once a user account is created its not possible to edit the credentials.
For example if the user creates a google online account and later wants to change the password, its not possible without deleting the account and creating a new one.

Hi Dubstar, and thanks for reporting this bug. However, I need some more information to understand what exactly needs to be fixed.
We don't store the Google password, so introducing a way to change it wouldn't make much sense, as it would be completely useless.
Why do you need this for?
If you change the password on the remote service, the next time that you use an application interacting with that service, you should be prompted to reauthenticate yourself (entering the new password), if the application cannot use the service anymore. If this is not happening, please describe the steps to reproduce this case, so we can investigate why things don't work as expected.
