The change password form should look like this:
However with AuthManager it looks like this:
things to fix:
[] No old password field to confirm you are still the same user
Note there is an issue with the current form and your form that would be great to fix in process if you can:

No old password field to confirm you are still the same user
AuthManager does it differently, because it's not that simple anymore. See the explanation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:SessionManager_and_AuthManager/Updating_tips#User_class_password-checking_methods.
Label of change password button but should be "Change password"
Not likely, considering the page may be used for changing things other than passwords. That's why it's named "Change credentials" instead of "Change password".
Change credentials instead of Change password would be fine. The label change however is a little ambiguous. You may want to design Design input on that.
Thanks for elaborating on the change password field. I'll remove that.
The lack of the old password field is intentional, AuthManager uses a different security model (see T136101).
