Reset password
In order to reset your password, use the resetPassword api - this will send a code to the user attribute configured to receive such a reset code (e.g. email or SMS):
Amplify.Auth.resetPassword( "username", result -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", result.toString()), error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString()));Amplify.Auth.resetPassword("username", { Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Password reset OK: $it") }, { Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Password reset failed", it) })try { val result = Amplify.Auth.resetPassword("username") Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Password reset OK: $result")} catch (error: AuthException) { Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Password reset failed", error)}RxAmplify.Auth.resetPassword("username") .subscribe( result -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", result.toString()), error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString()) );To complete the password reset process, invoke the confirmResetPassword api with the code you were sent and the new password you want.
Amplify.Auth.confirmResetPassword( "Username", "NewPassword123", "confirmation code you received", () -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "New password confirmed"), error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString()));Amplify.Auth.confirmResetPassword("Username", "NewPassword123", "confirmation code", { Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "New password confirmed") }, { Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Failed to confirm password reset", it) })try { Amplify.Auth.confirmResetPassword("Username", "NewPassword123", "code you received") Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "New password confirmed")} catch (error: AuthException) { Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Failed to confirm password reset", error)}RxAmplify.Auth.confirmResetPassword("Username","NewPassword123", "confirmation code") .subscribe( () -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "New password confirmed"), error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString()) );Change password
A signed in user can update their password using the updatePassword api:
Amplify.Auth.updatePassword( "existingPassword", "newPassword", () -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Updated password successfully"), error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString()));Amplify.Auth.updatePassword("existingPassword", "newPassword", { Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Updated password successfully") }, { Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Password update failed", it) })try { Amplify.Auth.updatePassword("existingPassword", "newPassword") Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Updated password successfully")} catch (error: AuthException) { Log.e("AuthQuickstart", "Password update failed", error)}RxAmplify.Auth.updatePassword("existingPassword", "newPassword") .subscribe( () -> Log.i("AuthQuickstart", "Updated password successfully"), error -> Log.e("AuthQuickstart", error.toString()) );
