Set up password change and recovery
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):
Future<void> resetPassword(String username) async { try { final result = await Amplify.Auth.resetPassword( username: username, ); await _handleResetPasswordResult(result); } on AuthException catch (e) { safePrint('Error resetting password: ${e.message}'); }}Future<void> _handleResetPasswordResult(ResetPasswordResult result) async { switch (result.nextStep.updateStep) { case AuthResetPasswordStep.confirmResetPasswordWithCode: final codeDeliveryDetails = result.nextStep.codeDeliveryDetails!; _handleCodeDelivery(codeDeliveryDetails); break; case AuthResetPasswordStep.done: safePrint('Successfully reset password'); break; }}To complete the password reset process, invoke the confirmResetPassword api with the code you were sent and the new password you want.
Future<void> confirmResetPassword({ required String username, required String newPassword, required String confirmationCode,}) async { try { final result = await Amplify.Auth.confirmResetPassword( username: username, newPassword: newPassword, confirmationCode: confirmationCode, ); safePrint('Password reset complete: ${result.isPasswordReset}'); } on AuthException catch (e) { safePrint('Error resetting password: ${e.message}'); }}Change password
A signed in user can update their password using the updatePassword api:
Future<void> updatePassword({ required String oldPassword, required String newPassword,}) async { try { await Amplify.Auth.updatePassword( oldPassword: oldPassword, newPassword: newPassword, ); } on AuthException catch (e) { safePrint('Error updating password: ${e.message}'); }}
