Changing passwords

When your password expires, change the password.

The password expiry is determined by the password policy configuration.

To change the password, call the changePassword API.

<User UserKey="" Loginid="" >
    <ResetPassword RequestId="" ResetType=""/> 
</User> 

The RequestId attribute is a randomly generated string that stores the password reset request ID, which is passed to the changePassword API to authenticate the request.

A combination of RequestId and ResetType is used for request validation. On successful validation, the password is changed.
