Update password upon login

Function: Update password upon login​

This action allows you to securely change the password for the user who is currently attempting to log in. It's typically used in scenarios like a "Forgot Password" flow or when a user needs to reset their password for security reasons.

Input​

  • Password: The new password you want to set for the user. This is a secure text field, meaning the characters you type will be hidden. This input is required.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output value that can be stored in a variable. Its primary effect is to update the user's password in the system.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some examples of how you might use the "Update password upon login" action:

Example 1: User resets their forgotten password

A user has forgotten their password and goes through a "Forgot Password" process. After verifying their identity (e.g., via email link), they are prompted to enter a new password.

  • Inputs:
    • Password: MyNewSecureP@ssw0rd!
  • Result: The user's password is successfully updated to MyNewSecureP@ssw0rd!, allowing them to log in with this new credential.

Example 2: Administrator forces a password reset for a user

An administrator needs to reset a user's password for security reasons. They trigger this action as part of an administrative workflow.

  • Inputs:
    • Password: TempP@ssw0rd123
  • Result: The user's password is changed to TempP@ssw0rd123. The administrator would then typically communicate this temporary password to the user, instructing them to change it upon their next login.

Example 3: Attempting to update password without providing one

A user is on the password reset screen but accidentally clicks "Update" without typing anything into the new password field.

  • Inputs:
    • Password: (empty)
  • Result: An error message appears, indicating that a password must be provided, and the user's password remains unchanged.
