It's highly dangerous to mess around with system files (e.g. password files) NOT using the tools designed for it. You might end up not being able to access the system.
For the sheer exercise: How is the user identified - by user name (field 1), UID (field 3), or both? And, it's just about field 2, so all the other fields in file 2 will stay the same? Assuming both, why don't you copy the entire line?
Try
I have 2 files - fileA and fileB
I need to match the first field of the 2 files then output some of the fields from fileA on the same line as certain fields from fileB.
There will be instances where fileB does not have a match for first field in fileA

chsh
CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]
DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries.
OPTIONS -s, --shell shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
-u, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
are root.
EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid.
