Reset Password

You can reset the password of a registered user’s account using the following code snippet. While calling the reset_password() method, a reset password link will be generated and sent to the user’s email address. The authentication_service reference used in the below code snippet is the component instance created earlier.

Create a Dictionary

You will need to create a dictionary that contains the registration details of a particular user as given below. You can then pass the configured dictionary to the method that handles the password reset process.

    

        
copy
        

            

        
    
    

         #Create a dictionary
signup_config = {
'platform_type' : 'web',
'zaid' : '1008807534',
'template_details': {
'senders_mail':'dogogetu@tutuapp.bid',
'subject': 'Welcome to %APP_NAME%',
'message':'<p>Hello ,</p> <p>Follow this link to join in %APP_NAME% .</p> <p><a href=\'%LINK%\'>%LINK%</a></p> <p>If you didn’t ask to join the application, you can ignore this email.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Your %APP_NAME% team</p>'
}
}
userConfig = {
'first_name': 'Amelia',
'last_name': 'Burrows',
'email_id': 'amelia.burrows@zohocorp.com'
}

    

Reset the Password

The objects that contains the user information and user signup configuration are passed as arguments to the reset_password() method which returns a response.

The authentication_service reference used below is already defined in the component instance page.

         #Reset user password
response_data = authentication_service.reset_password(signup_config, user_details)
