This is a common issue, and not with just Rails applications. You best
bet is to design your user profile update page to not send the password.
Either provide a change password page, or a separate for used
specifically to change the password.

Others may have other ideas on how to deal with that. I suggest looking
around at other profile update pages and see how they handle it.
