User Change My Password functionality

Wappler General Need Help
1

I’m trying to implement a change password function for logged in users. I thought I had the logic right. I don’t receive any errors, however the password doesn’t update to the new one entered by the user.

I have a server connect form that has three password fields, 1) current password 2) new password and 3) new password confirm. The form connects to the server action.

Where am I going wrong?

Do the database update query actually run?

  1. Security Provider is not needed
  2. Security Restrict is not needed
  3. Add Security Identity and use output ID in your query to find user by id

As notum says at (1)

  1. Security provider not needed, it is now in globals
  2. Personally i would use restrict as it may be applicable in a multi role environment. certainly it will do no harm
  3. your single query should have the condition id = identity (assuming id field is called “id”
  4. conditional condition looks ok
  5. update password should obviously encrypt the new password and have same condition as above query id=identity

SOLVED!
The issue was in the last part in the update query. I mistakenly filtered the update password query in the server action using the wrong user field under ‘Conditions’ - so it was never going to update the DB record :slight_smile.

I learnt that I don’t need ‘Security Provider’ and I can just add 'Security Identity instead. ‘Security Restrict’ I leave where applicable.

Hopefully this helps other who are looking for users to be able to change their passwords whilst logged in. Wappler is awesome!

Thanks very much @scalaris, @Notum, @Hyperbytes - I appreciate your help!
