Resetting a User Password

Reset the password for a single account, for multiple accounts, or for all accounts in an OCI IAM identity domain.

When you request a password change, a notification is sent to the user or users so that they can provide a new password for the account. The user clicks the link in the notification to open a form where they provide a new password. The new password must conform to the password policy as defined by an administrator.

You can't reset the passwords for deactivated user accounts. To activate one or more deactivated accounts, search for accounts with a status of Inactive. Then, select individual accounts to activate, or select them all.

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Identity, click Domains.
  2. Click the name of the identity domain that you want to work in. You might need to change the compartment to find the domain that you want. Then, click Users.
  3. Select the checkbox for each user account for which you want to reset the password.
