Reset a User’s Password

Overview¶

When you have enabled the email/password provider in your Realm app, you can register a new account, confirm an email address, and reset a user’s password from client code.

Register a New User Account¶

To register a new user, pass a user-provided email and password to the registerUser() or registerUserAsync() methods of your Realm App’s EmailPasswordAuth instance:

Kotlin
Java

copy

app.emailPassword.registerUserAsync(email, password) {
   if (it.isSuccess) {
       Log.i(TAG,"Successfully registered user.")
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG,"Failed to register user: ${it.error}")
   }
}

copy

app.getEmailPassword().registerUserAsync(email, password, it -> {
   if (it.isSuccess()) {
       Log.i(TAG,"Successfully registered user.");
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG,"Failed to register user: ${it.error}");
   }
});

Confirm a New User’s Email Address¶

To confirm a newly-created user, pass a confirmation token and tokenId to the confirmUser() or confirmUserAsync methods of your Realm App’s EmailPasswordAuth instance:

Kotlin
Java

copy

// token and tokenId are query parameters in the confirmation
// link sent in the confirmation email.
app.emailPassword.confirmUserAsync(token, tokenId) {
   if (it.isSuccess) {
       Log.i(TAG, "Successfully confirmed new user.")
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG, "Failed to register user: ${it.error}")
   }
}

copy

// token and tokenId are query parameters in the confirmation
// link sent in the confirmation email.
app.getEmailPassword().confirmUserAsync(token, tokenId, it -> {
   if (it.isSuccess()) {
       Log.i(TAG, "Successfully confirmed new user.");
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG, "Failed to register user: ${it.error}");
   }
});

Note

To access the token and tokenId values sent in the user confirmation email, you can use a custom confirmation email subject containing a deep link.

Reset a User’s Password¶

To reset a user’s password, first send the user a password reset email:

Kotlin
Java

copy

app.emailPassword.sendResetPasswordEmailAsync(emailAddress) {
   if (it.isSuccess) {
       Log.i(TAG, "Successfully sent the user a reset password link to $emailAddress")
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG, "Failed to send the user a reset password link to $emailAddress")
   }
}

copy

app.getEmailPassword().sendResetPasswordEmailAsync(emailAddress, it -> {
   if (it.isSuccess()) {
       Log.i(TAG, "Successfully sent the user a reset password link to $emailAddress");
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG, "Failed to send the user a reset password link to $emailAddress");
   }
});

Password reset emails contain two values, token and tokenId. To complete the password reset flow, prompt the user to enter a new password and pass the token and tokenId values along with the new password value to your Realm App’s EmailPasswordAuth instance’s resetPassword() or resetPasswordAsync() methods:

Kotlin
Java

copy

// token and tokenId are query parameters in the confirmation
// link sent in the password reset email.
app.emailPassword.resetPasswordAsync(token, tokenId, newPassword) {
   if (it.isSuccess) {
       Log.i(TAG, "Successfully updated password for user.")
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG, "Failed to reset user's password.")
   }
}

copy

// token and tokenId are query parameters in the confirmation
// link sent in the password reset email.
app.getEmailPassword().resetPasswordAsync(token, tokenId, newPassword, it -> {
   if (it.isSuccess()) {
       Log.i(TAG, "Successfully updated password for user.");
   } else {
       Log.e(TAG, "Failed to reset user's password.");
   }
});

Note

To access the token and tokenId values sent in the password reset email, you can use a custom password reset email subject containing a deep link.
