How do you use hook_form_FORM_ID_alter() to alter the USER EDIT form?
Try:

function MYMODULE_form_user_form_alter(&amp;$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  // Your code...
}


Inspecting element, I see the form id is user-form, which needs to be translated to the machine-readable name user_form

Otherwise, you can always do a standard HOOK_form_alter():

function MYMODULE_form_alter(&amp;$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'user_form') {
    // Your code...
  }
}


And always clear cache after adding/changing hook names.
