Change Password succeeds but sends failed message

[josh3]

Upon clicking “Reset Password”, the email is successfully sent and the URL is correctly set to our custom domain.

After entering a new password, attempting to login with that new password will succeed but the message received by the user is: “There was an error processing the password reset”

Extra info:

• We are using the template Mongo DB password change script
• The context information for the “failed” password change is attached below

Managed to resolve this issue - will explain here in case anyone else has this same problem:

The issue lies with the MongoDB Auth0-supplied template for custom database connections. The default callback checks that count > 0 but count in the callback is not actually a count… (at least not in the version of Mongo we are running)

The solution was to check that count.result.n > 0 which evaluates to true when a password has been successfully modified.

Thanks a lot for sharing that knowledge here!
