I had the same issue and I found it a bit bad practise to redirect users from the registration page. So my solution is basically is not using :registrable at all.

What I did was to create a similar page like edit user details which looked like:

<%= form_tag(update_user_update_path, method: :post) do %>  
    

    <%= label_tag(:currPassword, 'Current password:') %> <%= password_field_tag(:currPassword) %> 

    <%= label_tag(:newPassword, 'New password:') %> <%= password_field_tag(:newPassword) %> 

    <%= label_tag(:newPasswordConfirm, 'Confirm new password:') %> <%= password_field_tag(:newPasswordConfirm) %> 

    <%= submit_tag('Update') %>
<% end %>

So this form submits into a new post end point that updates the password, which looks like:

  def update
    currPass = params['currPassword']
    newPass1 = params['newPassword']
    newPass2 = params['newPasswordConfirm']
    currentUserParams = Hash.new()
    currentUserParams[:current_password] = currPass
    currentUserParams[:password] = newPass1
    currentUserParams[:password_confirmation] = newPass2
    @result = current_user.update_with_password(currentUserParams)
  end

Later on you can use the @result in your view to tell the user whether the password is updated or not.
