Devise 3 (rails 4) can't update user without password

Question

I\'m trying to update a user without having to provide a password, but approaches that worked on older devise/rails versions no longer work with devise 3 and rails 4 strong para

Answer 1

As of 2014, you can simply override a protected method and do:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  protected

  def update_resource(resource, params)
    resource.update_without_password(params)
  end
end
