hi everyone!

is possible change something when change\_password? I am trying to use dbconnections/change\_password so then the user can create a password, but I don’t understand how to customize even the language of this email template.

Greetings

see [Authentication API Explorer](https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#change-password)

```auto
POST https://YOUR_DOMAIN/dbconnections/change_password
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
  "email": "EMAIL",
  "connection": "CONNECTION",
}

```

Things to check:

- HTTP method is `POST`
- `Content-Type` HTTP header is `application/json`
- `client_id` needs to be a valid client ID from an Auth0 application
- `connection` needs to be same connection as the user specified e.g. “Username-Password-Authentication” - you can find this out by searching for the user in the Auth0 web portal: [One Cognizant](https://www.onecognizant.one/)

hi

thank you very much for your answer  
I tried using “dbconnections/change\_password” from “actions” “post user register” in auth0, so my question was rather to confirm the possibility of making changes to the email sent to the user.

I understand that “it is not possible and there are no alternatives” from your answer  
, thanks for your time

You can customize the email templates within the Auth0 tenant dashboard under “Branding” → “Email Templates”. Once you are on this page, select “Change Password” under “Templates” dropdown.

More information can be found here:

> **[Customize Email Templates](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/email/email-templates)**
>
> Learn how to customize your emails with Liquid templating syntax.

Specifically this section (“Subject” and “Message body”) mentions how to add multilingual support in the email templates

that’s what I was looking for and I already understood that I had to choose the correct **url** and **client id** to see it
