Changing an account password

Now that we know the ID of the account, we can now change its password. The endpoint used to achieve this is PATCH /accounts({accountKey}).

  1. From Swagger UI, locate PATCH /accounts({accountKey}), which is under Accounts.

  2. Click PATCH /accounts({accountKey}) .

  3. Click Try it out.

  4. Fill in the accountKey field, and provide json containing the operation and password in the request body.

    PATCH /accounts({accountKey}) supports replace, remove and test operations.

    • replace: change a password

    • remove: remove a password

    • test: verify a password

    An example json looks like:

    [
   {
      "op":"replace",
      "path":"/password",
      "value":"Qwerty123"
   }
]

    Here, we will change the account’s password to Qwerty123 using the replace operation.

  5. Click Execute.

  6. Check that the endpoint returned a 202 (Accepted) code; the request was successfully submitted, however it does not tell us the status of the password change.

    The response header returns a location field, containing the operation key of the request (in this case, 90cd48c8-e1de-4801-981e-a7699c2a4ec6) We will use that to get the operation result.
