Password reset

Password reset lets users reset their password without assistance from an administrator. The ForgeRock Identity Platform includes a sample reset password journey, which requests a user’s email address, checks if a user with that email exists, and if so, emails a reset link to the user. The journey then waits until the user clicks the link before presenting a password reset prompt.

Sample reset password journey

Make sure the Patch Object node's Patch As Object field is not selected (equivalent to false).

Example reset password REST output

When calling a reset password self-service endpoint, you will receive a JSON object back, containing callbacks for each of the nodes included in the reset password journey.

Sample JSON callbacks
{
  "authId": "<omitted for length>",
  "callbacks": [
    {
      "type": "StringAttributeInputCallback",
      "output": [
        {
          "name": "name",

        },
