So far I have only seen the option to change the password for the web interface on the commandline.

This feels innecesarily complicated.

Most websites allow you to change you credentials directly.

Pihole should behave the same and offer this as an additional option to change the password in the GUI when logged in.

You can change to web password under:  
All Settings(only available in Expert mode) -\> Webserver and API -\> `webserver.api.password`
