I’m adding Auth0 to an Android application and I want to be able to make a change password within the app. I’ve tried following the documentation but I keep getting 400 responses.
I’m using "{auth0_domain}/dbconnections/change_password”
For the body, I found resources online stating that I needed the client_id, email and connection.
I used my user’s client id, which begins with ‘auth0|’ and matches what I see in the auth0 dashboard. The email is my user’s email, easy to verify. My connection is “Username-Password-Authentication”, which is a database that exists in my auth0 app. All requests with these three properties failed.
I found Welcome to Auth0 Docs - Auth0 Docs which says I also need to include an ‘organization’ field. I tried including the application id but the requests are still failing.
From what you have mentioned regarding the issue, I believe it is caused by the fact that you are using the user’s user_id instead of the client_id of the application. You can find it under Applications → Applications → Client ID.
The standard body would look something like this:
{
"client_id": "{{Application_ID}}", //Should be something like ZeStcIFXlkFleSBjvfg0SLXoptPtG0wr
"email": "test_user@test.com",
"connection": "Username-Password-Authentication"
}
If the request is correct, it should say We've just sent you an email to reset your password.
