Devise, the separate pages for changing password and email address

I use devise as authentication system and I want to create the separate pages for changing password and email address.

Should I create additional actions like update_password and update_email, or might it be better to use single update action which could accept both password and email?

I guess that there's no real advantage at creating new actions. And from what I can remember from that book you should stick to the 7 classic actions (index / show / new / edit / create / update / delete) if you can, in order to keep everything RESTFul.

Anyway, the action would probably do the same thing.

a classic update would be :

def update
  user = User.find(params[:id]).update_attributes! params[:user]
end

and the eventual update_password & update_email would probably look something like that

def update_email
  user = User.find(params[:id]).update_attributes! email: params[:user][:email]
end

def update_password
  user = User.find(params[:id]).update_attributes! password: params[:user][:password]
end

When using a single action (the update one) , the only eventual problem would be that a user could update its password via the change email form by changing the html on the page for instance. I don't think that this is a problem as the user has the ability to change his password anyway.

So I would stick to the classic update method.

If I missed your point, please let me know ;)
