Hi @Kbral. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To update a user's password in Wasp, you can use the
updateAuthIdentityProviderData
function. Here's how you can implement password updating:
1. First, define an action in your main.wasp
file:
2. Then, implement the updatePassword
function in your src/auth.js
or src/auth.ts
file:
This code snippet is from the Wasp Auth Overview documentation.
Note that Wasp automatically handles password hashing for you, so you don't need to worry about that part. The updateAuthIdentityProviderData
function will take care of hashing the new password before storing it.
Remember to handle errors appropriately and provide feedback to the user about the success or failure of the password update operation.

Sorry @Kbral, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai How can i'm using current password to validate, how can i do it?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

To validate the current password before updating it, you can use Wasp's built-in authentication functions. Here's how you can modify the
updatePassword
function to include current password validation:
This implementation is based on the password migration example from the Wasp migration documentation.
Here's what this code does:
1. It uses findAuthIdentity
to get the user's auth identity.
2. It deserializes the provider data to get the current hashed password.
3. It uses SecurePassword
to verify the provided current password against the stored hashed password.
4. If the current password is correct, it updates the password using updateAuthIdentityProviderData
.
Remember to update your action in main.wasp
to include the new arguments:
And when calling this action from your client-side code, you'll need to provide the current password along with the new password:
This approach ensures that only users who know the current password can update it, adding an extra layer of security to your password update process.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai and if i want to insert the user name too?

To include updating the username along with the password, you can modify the
updatePassword
function to handle both updates. Here's how you can adjust the function to include updating the username:
This updated function now handles both password and username updates. Here are the key changes:
1. The function is renamed to updateUserInfo
to reflect its broader purpose.
2. It accepts a newUsername
parameter in addition to the password-related parameters.
3. It creates an updateData
object that can include both the new password and the new username.
4. It uses updateAuthIdentityProviderData
to update both the password and username in one operation.
You'll need to update your action in main.wasp
accordingly:
When calling this action from your client-side code, you can now include the new username:
This approach allows you to update both the password and username while still maintaining the security check of verifying the current password.
Remember that if you're storing the username in a separate User
entity (which is common in Wasp applications), you might need to update that as well. The exact implementation would depend on your specific entity structure.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai from where is this secure-password?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

The
secure-password
package mentioned in the previous responses is actually an outdated dependency that Wasp used to rely on for password hashing. However, according to more recent information from the knowledge sources, Wasp has moved away from using secure-password
.
According to the Github issue about stopping dependence on secure-password
, it was noted that:
1. secure-password
is unmaintained and causes build issues.
2. Wasp has introduced hacks to make it work in the past.
3. There was a plan to replace secure-password
with something else, possibly from the Lucia ecosystem.
A comment on this issue mentions:
@infomiho says we could use Oslo instead, from the Lucia ecosystem.It's important to note that this issue has been closed, which suggests that Wasp has likely moved on from using
secure-password
.
Given this information, I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. The code examples I provided using SecurePassword
are likely outdated and no longer reflect the current best practices in Wasp.
For the most up-to-date information on how Wasp handles password hashing and user authentication, I recommend checking the latest Wasp documentation or reaching out to the Wasp community for current best practices. The knowledge sources provided don't contain specific information about what replaced secure-password
in Wasp's current implementation.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?@kapa.ai So, if i want to:
- Edit name
- Edit email
- Insert the current password
- Insert the new password
- Confirm the new password
How could i do it?

Based on the most recent information available in the knowledge sources, I can provide you with a general approach to updating user information in Wasp, including name, email, and password. However, please note that some specifics might have changed since the last update to the documentation.
Here's a general outline of how you could implement this functionality:
1. First, define an action in your
main.wasp
file:
2. Then, implement the updateUserInfo
function in your src/auth.js
or src/auth.ts
file:
This implementation attempts to cover all the points you mentioned:
- Editing name
- Editing email
- Inserting the current password
- Inserting the new password
- Confirming the new password
However, please note that the exact implementation details, especially regarding password validation and hashing, may have changed in recent Wasp versions. The validatePassword
function is a placeholder, and you'll need to replace it with the appropriate method provided by Wasp's current authentication system.
To use this action in your client-side code, you could do something like this:
Remember to handle errors and provide appropriate feedback to the user.
For the most up-to-date and accurate information, I recommend checking the latest Wasp documentation or reaching out to the Wasp community, as the authentication system seems to have undergone changes that are not fully reflected in the provided knowledge sources.
