<![CDATA[Updating a user's password and salt]]>What is the best way to update a users password & salt but nothing else via the API?

Would the update/patch user endpoint work well enough for just updating these values?

Neither of these APIs accept a hashed password and salt however, it accepts a plain text password that it will in turn salt, hash and then persist.

Check out both these APIs here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users
