Updating a user's password and salt

[dan]

What is the best way to update a users password & salt but nothing else via the API?

Would the update/patch user endpoint work well enough for just updating these values?

If you’re looking to update the password, you can use the Update User API, or the Change Password API.

Neither of these APIs accept a hashed password and salt however, it accepts a plain text password that it will in turn salt, hash and then persist.

Check out both these APIs here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users
