@akruhler commented on GitHub (Apr 17, 2022):
Thanks for your request! While it is possible to invoke the ChangePassword() function to change one's password instead of setting it, this function unfortunately can't be invoked without administrative rights either, even when used on the currently logged in user. The only benefit of this feature being added would consequently be that it allows to change passwords without potential loss of login credentials, provided you know the old account password of course. But since the user could change the password by himself through logging in, it most probably would be an obsolete feature to add.
