I just tested this and it does seem to be the case. I tried blocking a test user by clearing the value in the password field and setting the blocked toggle while monitoring the encrypted password value in _users using mysql. The user record was saved correctly and the encrypted password string remained the same. I should have suspected this. Thanks.

I'm getting an error when I try to ignore the password fields. The confirm password field is blank and the message I get is that the passwords don't match. Therefore the user record is not updated.
it's possible that if you have stored your own log-in password in your browser, that your browser is auto-filling the Password field wtih _your_ password. When making changes to another user's account, make sure *both* password fields are blank, unless you are in there to reset their password (in which case you will need to replace the contents of the Password field with _their_ password and then retype it in the Confirm Password field).
make sense?
