The correct answer no-longer works for rails 4. I believe my answer is the cleanest and the most versatile that will work whenever you want to leave out any attributes (not just the password). This approach will be needed if you want to update the separate attributes of any model in a number of different places.

For example, if you want to do what Stack Overflow does and have the passwords updatable via a security page, the profile image updatable via the user show view and the bulk of a user's information updatable via a user edit view.

1) Extend the hash class with a class method to delete blank values. We will use this method to remove blank values that are not being updated but are still present in the params hash:

1a) Create a hash.rb file in your lib directory, under an ext directory:

## uninstall_gems.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

uninstall() {
  list=`gem list --no-versions`
  for gem in $list; do
    gem uninstall $gem -aIx
  done
  gem list
  gem install bundler
}

Remove Existing OpenJDK

Generally, I'd recommend running Oracle's Java, if you're doing Clojure development. Seeing how Clojure is built around the standard JVM from Oracle, it seems like it would be best to use that. First, let's remove the existing OpenJDK from our OS.
Search for OpenJDK

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep jdk

This guide enables you to install (ruby-build) and use (rbenv)
multiple versions of ruby, isolate project gems (gemsets and/or bundler), and
automatically use appropriate combinations of rubies and gems.
