Require Password reset by email

Require reset by email

POST
https://test.stytch.com/v1/b2b/passwords/email/require_reset

Require a password be reset by the associated email address. This endpoint is only functional for cross-org password use cases.

If there are is only one active Member using the associated email address in the Project, the password will be deleted.

RBAC Enforced API

When a Member Session is passed in the Authorization headers, Stytch will enforce that the Member has permission to take the update.info.delete.password Action on the stytch.member or stytch.self (depending on the target MemberID) Resource prior to honoring the request.

To learn more, see our RBAC guide.
