changePassword

This method is very similar to the forgot password feature. But unlike forgot password, here it is important for a user to be logged into his account first. To ensure the security of a user account, we send a verification code to the phone number associated with user account and return you a confirmation method.

Change password function accepts the following arguments

This method returns the following code in form of promise

PHONE-CODE-SENT

verification code sent to phone number and you use the confirmation method returned in the response of promise to verify the user.

DATA-INVALID

data format is invalid

AUTH-UNAUTHORIZED

user is required to be logged in

PHONE-CODE-SENDING-FAILED

failed to send code to phone number

confirm(code)

After submitting change password request, we send a verification code to the phone number associated with the user's accounts. As a result, we also return you a confirmation function, so that you could proceed with the change password operation after prompting the user about the verification code.

This function receives a single argument as illustrated below

Parameters

Upon execution, this method returns the following code in the form of promise

AUTH-PROFILE-UPDATED

Use of changePassword method has been illustrated in the example below

// Variable to hold the confirmChangePassword
// method so that it could be used afterwards
var confirm = null;
 
// Get user data from the inputs and
// Submit request to the server
auth.changePassword(password).then((res) => {
  // Got the response
  // So checkout the response code
  switch(res.code) {
    case "PHONE-CODE-SENT": 
      // Verification code has been sent
      confirm = res.confirm;
  }
})
 
// After getting response from change password request
// Prompt the user about the verification code
// and submit it to server with the confirm method
confirm(code).then((res) => {
  // Got the response
  switch(res.code) {
    case "AUTH-PROFILE-UPDATED":
        // Password has been updated
  }
});
