Password updates
Password updates provide a method for the user to update their password without assistance from an administrator. The ForgeRock Identity Platform includes a sample Update Password journey. Unlike the other sample self-service journeys, the update password journey assumes the user is already logged in, and gets the user’s current session data to identify the user. It then presents a prompt to update the user’s password, and uses a Patch Object node to update the password in IDM. An example of where you might use a journey like this is in an update password link placed in the user’s profile or settings.

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