Forgot Password Errors

These are the most error cases and error codes returned by Recover ID and Reset Password Processes.

Invalid Password

If the user provides an invalid new password to the Reset Password Process, then Digital Identity Management responds with a HTTP 400 status. The response body includes a fieldErrors array with the reason(s) as to what went wrong:

**ERROR RESPONSE - body**
{
    "processId": "8bca30ca-dd44-4050-aece-53b0dbed1922",
    "stepName": "NewPasswordPrompt",
    "lastStep": false,
    "fieldErrors": [
        {
            "field": "credential",
            "code": "NotWeakPassword",
            "rejectedValue": "test",
            "message": "password-regex-rule-violation-.*[0-9].*"
        },
        {
            "field": "credential",
            "code": "NotWeakPassword",
            "rejectedValue": "test",
            "message": "blacklisted-password"
        },
        {
            "field": "credential",
            "code": "NotWeakPassword",
            "rejectedValue": "test",
            "message": "password-regex-rule-violation-.{8,}"
        },
        {
            "field": "credential",
            "code": "NotWeakPassword",
            "rejectedValue": "test",
            "message": "password-regex-rule-violation-.*[A-Z].*"
        }
    ],
    "lastFailedStepAction": {
        "processId": "90163eaa-3d8a-4fa3-b2b5-100ea14b7a9f",
        "processName": "recovery.PasswordReset.v1.0",
        "displayMessage": "Please input required information",
        "parameters": {
            "newPassword": "String"
        },
        "stepName": "NewPasswordPrompt"
    }
}

In the above example, objects in the fieldErrors array indicate the following:

The password fails to include at least one number (0-9)
The password is on an internal list of commonly banned passwords
The password fails to meet the minimum length of (8 characters)
The password fails to include at least one capital (A-Z)

The Process error response also includes a lastStepFailedAction object that repeats the previous Process step’s request. The user can re-attempt their request with a different (ideally stronger) password.

`processId`	The unique identifier for this instance of the Process.
`stepName`	The internal name of the step that the Process is currently on / just executed.
`lastStep`	Boolean that indicates whether or not this was the last step in the Process.
`fieldError`	Array of possible error objects. Each object describes a separate error condition.
field	The name of the specific field where the error occurred.
`code`	An error object’s internal code name.
`rejectedValue`	The actual value that caused the error
`message`	Optional message that describes the error.
`lastFailedStepAction`	Object that repeats the previous Process step’s details and required input. This allows the client to retry the failed request.
