I think you might find this thread helpful.

I’m not totally following your question but your change_password_component.html.leex (or equivalent) might look something similar to this:

<%= f = form_for @password_changeset, Routes.person_settings_path(@socket, :update_password),
        id: "form-update-password",
        phx_change: "validate_password",
        phx_submit: "update_password",
        phx_trigger_action: @password_trigger_action,
        phx_target: @myself %>
  ...
  <%= hidden_input f, :action, name: "action", value: "update_password" %>
  <%= password_input f, :password, value: input_value(f, :password) %>
  ...
</form>

I’ve stripped out a lot, but the input_value/2 from Phoenix.HTML needs to be set on your password field.

And you use the update/2 callback for Phoenix.LiveComponent in your change_password_component.ex file (or equivalent):

  @impl true
  def update(assigns, socket) do
    if socket.assigns[:current_person] do
      {:ok, socket}
    else
      {:ok,
       socket
       |> assign(:current_person, assigns.current_person)
       |> assign(:password_changeset, Accounts.change_person_password(assigns.current_person))
       |> assign(:current_password, nil)
       |> assign(:password_trigger_action, false)
      }
    end
  end
  ...

You’d also have handle_event/3 callbacks for "validate_password" and "update_password", or whatever you’d like to call those actions.

I’m planning to add another Medium post on switching the settings page over to a Live View page as a continuation of my other two posts (which you can find in the aforementioned thread), and I will update @slouchpie’s thread accordingly.

Hope this helps
