Just subclass your backendForm to frontendForm and use the new useFields method to a few unwanted widgets and their validators. As for the password field: I think I added a updatePasswordColumn($value) method to my form class and when it was blank ($value === '') I returned false in this method. That way a blank password does not override the old one. For this to work you'll need to make both your password and your password_again optional so it doesn't give a 'Required.' error. Does this make sense?
In case you're wondering, what these update%columnName%Column method is: you can add those to your form class and they get called when a value is changed in the form widget so you can reformat etc. But returning false in such a method removes the value from the cleaned values and isn't included in the update to the database. I don't know if that's documented somewhere but it should be in the "What's new?" documents.
