Reset

Changed on

Reset the password associated with an email and start an intermediate session. This endpoint checks that the password reset token is valid, hasn’t expired, or already been used.

The provided password needs to meet the project's password strength requirements, which can be checked in advance with the password strength endpoint. If the token and password are accepted, the password is securely stored for future authentication and the user is authenticated.

Resetting a password will start an intermediate session and return a list of discovered organizations the session can be exchanged into.

Request body

password_reset_tokenstring required

The password reset token to authenticate.

passwordstring required

The password to authenticate, reset, or set for the first time. Any UTF8 character is allowed, e.g. spaces, emojis, non-English characters, etc.

pkce_code_verifierstring

Response

Successful response

request_idstring required

Globally unique UUID that is returned with every API call. This value is important to log for debugging purposes; we may ask for this value to help identify a specific API call when helping you debug an issue.

intermediate_session_tokenstring required

The returned Intermediate Session Token contains a password factor associated with the Member. If this value is non-empty, the member must complete an MFA step to finish logging in to the Organization. The token can be used with the OTP SMS Authenticate endpoint, TOTP Authenticate endpoint, or Recovery Codes Recover endpoint to complete an MFA flow and log in to the Organization. The token has a default expiry of 10 minutes. Password factors are not transferable between Organizations, so the intermediate session token is not valid for use with discovery endpoints.

email_addressstring required

The email address.

status_codeinteger required

The HTTP status code of the response. Stytch follows standard HTTP response status code patterns, e.g. 2XX values equate to success, 3XX values are redirects, 4XX are client errors, and 5XX are server errors.

intermediate_session_token_expires_atstring
