# Change Password

`POST /user/password/change`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sea-lion.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.sea-lion.ai/user/password/change`
- Auth: API key in header `x-litellm-api-key`

Change the calling user's own password.

Only callable with the dashboard session issued by a username/password
login; SSO sessions and virtual keys are rejected with 403. Requires the
current password. The new password must differ from the
current one and satisfy the configured password policy
(`general_settings.password_policy_*`: minimum length, character classes,
and, when enabled, breached-password screening via haveibeenpwned.com).
A successful change lifts any pending forced password reset
(`password_reset_required`) on the account.

Parameters:
- current_password: str - The user's current password.
- new_password: str - The password to change to.
