| **Address**   | `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/iam/password` |
| **Method**    | `PUT`                                  |

| **Auth**      | `Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY` |

Replaces the calling person's password. Only their own —
there is no shape of this request that writes somebody else's.

Prove who you are with the password you are replacing, or — when you cannot
sign in at all — with a code sent to the address the account already holds.
Exactly one of the two: a request carrying both proves nothing more than
either, and answering it would mean deciding which one mattered.

A reset also clears the account lockout, in the SAME transaction as the
digest. Replacing a credential retires the run of guesses against the old one,
and without this a person who reset a forgotten password was still refused for
up to fifteen more minutes — with the brand-new password they had just chosen.

## Request

7 fields, body `application/json` (required).

| Field           | In     | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                         |
| --------------- | ------ | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Cookie`        | header | string | —        |                                                                                                     |
| `Authorization` | header | string | —        |                                                                                                     |
| `code`          | body   | string | —        | Code is the one-time code delivered to the account's own address.                                   |
| `oldPassword`   | body   | string | —        | OldPassword is the credential being replaced, the proof a signed-in caller gives instead of a code. |
| `organization`  | body   | string | —        | The account being recovered, for a caller who cannot be signed in.                                  |
| `password`      | body   | string | —        | Password is the new credential.                                                                     |
| `username`      | body   | string | —        | email, username OR phone                                                                            |

## Response

| Status    | Body            | Meaning     |
| --------- | --------------- | ----------- |
| `200`     | iam.Answer      | ok          |
| `400`     | iam.Answer      | bad request |
| `default` | problem-details | refused     |

`200` body — 8 fields.

| Field    | In   | Type   | Always | Description |
| -------- | ---- | ------ | ------ | ----------- |
| `code`   | body | string | —      |             |
| `data`   | body | any    | —      |             |
| `data2`  | body | any    | —      |             |
| `data3`  | body | any    | —      |             |
| `msg`    | body | string | —      |             |
| `name`   | body | string | —      |             |
| `status` | body | string | —      |             |
| `sub`    | body | string | —      |             |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo iam password
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, IamApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new IamApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.putIamPassword({ code: "<code>", oldPassword: "<oldPassword>" });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import IamApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = IamApi(client).put_iam_password(code="<code>", old_password="<oldPassword>")
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.IamAPI.PutIamPassword(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, iam_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = iam_api::put_iam_password(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.IamApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new IamApi(client).putIamPassword();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X PUT https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/iam/password \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "code": "<code>",
       "oldPassword": "<oldPassword>"
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **iam** through the `iam` tool, which names its 44 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_iam_applications"
         }
       }
     }'
```
