How to change existing user's password ?

[Georges760]

There is no function in UserState permitting to hange a user password (update the password hash).

Would it be possible to have one ?

Hi,

I agree that such a function would be nice to have. I will consider implementing one.

In the mean time, the following works, for changing the password:

// Change the password for user "bob" to "hunter2"
username := "bob"
password := "hunter2"
passwordHash := userstate.HashPassword(username, password)
userstate.Users().Set(username, "password", passwordHash)

Best regards,

Great,
this method works great, so I can use it for now. When I will be done, I will find some time to do the "func (state *UserState) ChangePassword(username, password string) error" function for you.
