Reset by session

The resetBySession method wraps the Reset By Session API endpoint.

If this method succeeds, the user will be logged in, granted an active session, and the session cookies will be minted and stored in the browser.

You can listen for successful login events anywhere in the codebase with the stytch.session.onChange() method or useStytchSession hook if you are using React.

Method parameters

password* string

session_duration_minutes* int

import React, { useCallback } from 'react';
import { useStytch } from '@stytch/react';

export const Login = () => {
  const stytch = useStytch();

  const resetPassword = useCallback(() => {
    stytch.passwords.resetBySession({
      password: 'xY5jMLT8V1XYhRp+',
      session_duration_minutes: 60,
    });
  }, [stytch]);

  return <button onClick={resetPassword}>Reset Password</button>;
};
