  • In this code snippet, we render three input fields: one for the old password, one for the new password, and one to confirm the new password. Each input field is associated with its respective state variable (oldPassword, newPassword, confirmNewPassword). The onChange event handlers update the corresponding state variables as the user types in the input fields. You can find the full code including the User Self-Deletion part in a single repo.
