Set up authentication methods in Kinde
Auth and access
Reset a user's password
If your user’s authenticate using passwords, you can reset their password through the Kinde admin (instructions below), or through our API using {"is_password_reset_requested": true} in the body of a request.
Note that you need to be a Kinde admin or have sufficient permissions to reset a user’s password.
- In Kinde, go to Users. The list of all your users is displayed.
- Filter, browse, or search the list for the user who’s password needs to be reset.
- Select their name to open their profile, then scroll down the Profile window and select Reset Password.
- Select Reset in the confirmation message that appears.
The next time the user signs in, they will be prompted to change their password.
For an overview of all password reset options — including the user-facing ‘forgot password’ flow and temporary passwords — see Password authentication.
