public class AccountUIHelper extends Object
Helper class for account-related UI operations in the BTO Management System.

This class provides reusable UI components and methods for account management operations such as password changes. It encapsulates the interaction between the user interface and the authentication controller, providing a clean API for account-related UI workflows.

The helper follows a composition pattern, working with a BaseUI instance for common UI operations and an AuthenticationController for business logic.
