Change Password #10

Hey,

Great plugin btw!

Is it possible to change passwords once set?

Yes, it works exactly the same as for CouchDB, you just update the document. IIRC something like this should work (semi-pseudocode)

// assuming db is a database you can also call login() etc. on
db.get('org.couchdb.user:username').then(function (resp) {// or whatever the exact id is
  resp.password = 'new-password';
  return db.put(resp);
});

If you look at the source, you'll see that the sign up function is actually just a tiny wrapper that also just inserts a document.
