Overview
This node provides an interface to update the password of the currently authenticated user in a messaging platform system. It requires the user to provide their current password and a new password that meets specific complexity requirements (minimum 8 characters, at least one uppercase letter, and one number). This operation is useful for users who want to change their login credentials securely.
Practical examples include:
- Allowing users to update their password after a security breach.
- Enforcing periodic password changes for enhanced security.
- Integrating password update functionality into automated workflows for user management.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current password | The user's existing password required to authorize the password change. |
| New password (min 8 chars, 1 uppercase, 1 number) | The new password to set, which must be at least 8 characters long and include at least one uppercase letter and one number. |
Output
The output of this node will contain the JSON response from the API after attempting to update the password. Typically, this would include confirmation of success or details about any errors encountered during the update process.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to the messaging platform's API.
- The base URL for the API is taken from the credential configuration.
- The node sends a PATCH request to the
/api/v1/auth/passwordendpoint with the current and new passwords as query string parameters.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid current password: If the current password provided is incorrect, the API will reject the request. Ensure the current password is accurate.
- Password complexity failure: The new password must meet the minimum complexity rules (at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, and one number). Failure to comply will result in an error.
- Authentication errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the request from reaching the API. Check network settings and API availability.
