Error: Firebase.changePassword failed: First argument must contain the key "email" with type "string"

[livi17]

When trying to change the password, I get the following error below the form in the view:

Error: Firebase.changePassword failed: First argument must contain the key "email" with type "string"

Change password in account.js looks like:

$scope.changePassword = function(oldPass, newPass, confirm) {
      $scope.err = null;
      if( !oldPass || !newPass ) {
        error('Please enter all fields');
      }
      else if( newPass !== confirm ) {
        error('Passwords do not match');
      }
      else {
        Auth.$changePassword({email: profile.email, oldPassword: oldPass, newPassword: newPass})
          .then(function() {
            success('Password changed');
          }, error);
      }
    };

Perhaps it's due to the updated firebase API, you can even generate a random password, therfore here is the example

var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
var newPassword = getASecureRandomPassword();

user.updatePassword(newPassword).then(function() {
  // Update successful.
}, function(error) {
  // An error happened.
});
