Question

I\'ve implemented omniauth with my devise model, so I can authenticate using other services. Password is not necessary anymore for my model, as users can authenticate using twit

Answer 1

As of devise v4.6.2. It is very easy to do.

As documentation said here:

By default we want to require a password checks on update. You can overwrite this method in your own RegistrationsController.

It means, in your controller override the method update_resource to replace update_with_password with update_without_password:

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  # ...

  protected

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