Flexible authentication solution for Rails with Warden.

Devise::Models::DatabaseAuthenticatable#update_without_password

Updates record attributes without asking for the current password.
Never allows a change to the current password. If you are using this
method, you should probably override this method to protect other
attributes you would not like to be updated without a password.

Example:

  def update_without_password(params, *options)
    params.delete(:email)
    super(params)
  end
