changePassword returns 401

john.bantoto

I am using "@fusionauth/typescript-client": "^1.42.0" and tried to use the changePassword method.

const fa = new FusionAuthClient(
  API_KEY,
  HOST,
  TENANT_ID
);

await fa.changePassword(undefined, {
  loginId: userEmail,
  password: "newPassword",
});

I always get a 401 response.

I tried with a normal http request using axios and it's working so I think there is an issue with the changePassword method.

 await axiosInstance.post("/api/user/change-password", {
  loginId: user.email,
  password: newPassword,
});

I double checked the keys and even tried using the retrieveUser method which successfully returns the the user.

The error response doesn't give much info. Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve?

Hi there!

In this scenario where you're providing the loginId instead of the changePasswordId, please use
changePasswordByIdentity():

await fa.changePasswordByIdentity({
  loginId: userEmail,
  password: "newPassword",
});
