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):

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) }

    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) }

    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) }

    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())
