With RAD Studio XE8, we support a range of backend as a service (BaaS) providers including Kinvey, Parse and App42.
Over the last year I have written many blog posts on our BaaS support and frequently get questions on BaaS from our customers.

Over the last couple of months, I have been covering various BaaS (Backend-as-a-Service) features introduced in RAD Studio XE6.
Today, I thought I would expand on the User Account Creation and Authentication topic I previously covered by showing you how to allow the user to change their password within your BaaS enabled application.
In this app, I am using Kinvey as my BaaS Provider but the UI and code are the same if you are using Parse.
