    changePassword (oldPassword: $oldPassword, password: $password)
}

Variables:

  "oldPassword": "<Current_Password>",
  "password": "<New_Password>"
}

• oldPassword (String): The user's current password.
• password (String): The new password that the user wishes to set for their account.

Response:

• Success (200 OK):

  • If the password change is successful, no additional data is returned, and the user's password will be updated.
