FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE #2 r365646

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  6 12 Sep 16:39 /usr/bin/chsh -> chpass
-r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  23808 12 Sep 16:39 /usr/bin/chpass

You do not need to be root - notice the permissions on chpass

The password requested, if run by a user, is the user's password and not root.
