#User password

#API actions

API path: /user/password.

#change

Changes password of user with the provided session hash (it is contained in a password restore link from email sent to user by user/restore_password).

This call will receive only session hash from a password restore email. Any other hash will result in result error code 4 (User or API key not found or session ended).

#Parameters

name description type
password New password for the user. string

Passwords must be between 12 and 20 characters in length and include at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letter, digit, and special character. To maintain account security, the system tracks password history, so you can't reuse any of your last 10 passwords. If a previous password is detected, the system will return the error "Password was recently used."
