B2B Passwords

Reset

Changed on

Reset the member's password using their existing password.

This endpoint adapts to your Project's password strength configuration. If you're using zxcvbn, the default, your passwords are considered valid if the strength score is >= 3. If you're using LUDS, your passwords are considered valid if they meet the requirements that you've set with Stytch. You may update your password strength configuration on the Passwords Policy page in the Stytch Dashboard.

If the Member is required to complete MFA to log in to the Organization, the returned value of member_authenticated will be false, and an intermediate_session_token will be returned. The intermediate_session_token can be passed into the OTP SMS Authenticate endpoint to complete the MFA step and acquire a full member session. The session_duration_minutes and session_custom_claims parameters will be ignored.

If a valid session_token or session_jwt is passed in, the Member will not be required to complete an MFA step.

Note that a successful password reset via an existing password will revoke all active sessions for the member_id.

Request body

email_addressstring required

The email address of the Member.

existing_passwordstring required

The Member's current password that they supplied.

new_passwordstring required

The Member's elected new password.

organization_idstring required

Globally unique UUID that identifies a specific Organization. The organization_id is critical to perform operations on an Organization, so be sure to preserve this value. You may also use the organization_slug or organization_external_id here as a convenience.

session_tokenstring

A secret token for a given Stytch Session.

session_duration_minutesinteger

Set the session lifetime to be this many minutes from now. This will start a new session if one doesn't already exist, returning both an opaque session_token and session_jwt for this session. Remember that the session_jwt will have a fixed lifetime of five minutes regardless of the underlying session duration, and will need to be refreshed over time.

This value must be a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 527040 minutes (366 days).

If a session_token or session_jwt is provided then a successful authentication will continue to extend the session this many minutes.

If the session_duration_minutes parameter is not specified, a Stytch session will be created with a 60 minute duration. If you don't want to use the Stytch session product, you can ignore the session fields in the response.

session_jwtstring

The JSON Web Token (JWT) for a given Stytch Session.

session_custom_claimsobject

Add a custom claims map to the Session being authenticated. Claims are only created if a Session is initialized by providing a value in session_duration_minutes. Claims will be included on the Session object and in the JWT. To update a key in an existing Session, supply a new value. To delete a key, supply a null value. Custom claims made with reserved claims (iss, sub, aud, exp, nbf, iat, jti) will be ignored. Total custom claims size cannot exceed four kilobytes.

locale'en' | 'es' | 'pt-br' | 'fr'
telemetry_idstring

If the telemetry_id is passed, as part of this request, Stytch will call the Fingerprint Lookup API and store the associated fingerprints and IPGEO information for the Member. Your workspace must be enabled for Device Fingerprinting to use this feature.

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.

member_idstring required

Globally unique UUID that identifies a specific Member.

session_tokenstring required

A secret token for a given Stytch Session.

session_jwtstring required

The JSON Web Token (JWT) for a given Stytch Session.

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.

member_authenticatedboolean required

Indicates whether the Member is fully authenticated. If false, the Member needs to complete an MFA step to log in to the Organization.

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
