Comment (by vkhandus):

 1. As I can see for XMPP protocol (my google talk account) "Original
 password" field is missing.
 2. But I think second variant is much secure and logical. Changing
 password is like administrative operation - you must have all rights to do
 that, so you have to know password. Another IM clients seems follow this
 rule.
