Overview

This node allows users to change their password in the "User" resource context. It is useful in scenarios where a user needs to update their login credentials securely, for example, after a security breach or as part of routine password maintenance. The node supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) by optionally accepting a multi-factor code to confirm the identity of the user before changing the password.

Practical examples:

  • A user wants to update their password after receiving a notification about suspicious activity.
  • An administrator automates password rotation policies by periodically updating user passwords.
  • Integration with a workflow that requires password updates following certain triggers or events.

Properties

Name Meaning
Multi Factor Code Optional MFA code to confirm identity if MFA is enabled on the user profile.
New Password The new password that the user wants to set. This is required.
Old Password The current password of the user, required to authorize the password change.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the password change operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of success or details about any errors encountered during the process. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Incorrect old password: The API will reject the request if the old password does not match the current password.
    • Missing or invalid MFA code: If MFA is enabled and the code is missing or incorrect, the password change will fail.
    • Network or authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and network connectivity to the API endpoint is available.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failed: Verify the API key credential and ensure it has the necessary permissions.
    • Invalid old password: Confirm the old password input is correct.
    • MFA required or invalid MFA code: Provide a valid multi-factor code if MFA is enabled for the user.
