If a user changes their own password (or any of their account information) after clicking 'Update' they are returned to the same screen.
In most cases that is OK, and allows them to check the new data. But for passwords, which are not displayed, there is no confirmation that the change was succesful, or that anything other than a page refresh occurred.

Some users would understand this, but for many it lacks explanation.

Can a simple "Changes accepted", in red, be applied on the page perhaps, or even just "New password accepted" alongside the password fields, if that is the change they made.
Perhaps, ultimately, "New xxxx accepted" against each item they change?
