I am trying to let a user change their password via the API. What it looks like here is that I can send a POST request to the users endpoint with their user ID at the end, sending the new password in the request body as JSON. So,
POST to : https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users/123
And in the body:
{
"password": "mySecretPassword"
}
In this case, the user is authenticated via JWT and needs to send the token in the header of the request.
When I tried this in postman, the request hangs for a really long time but finally seems to go through and the password is updated.
I wanted to know if I am doing this correctly, and if so why does it take so long?
