Client Security

The five endpoints that manage the password, verification, two-step sign-in and the security rules set on a client.

Overview

These five endpoints carry the security decisions an operator applies to a client account: setting the password, marking a field verified, turning on two-step verification, tightening sign-in and payment rules, and limiting support access.

None of them ask the client anything. They all apply directly, which is why a key carrying these endpoints is worth keeping narrow.

Reference

Changing the Password

put/api/v1/admin/clients/{id}/password

Clients/SetClientPassword admin no old password asked

Sets the client's password directly. The current one is not asked for.

Body 2

passwordstringrequiredThe new password. At least options/password-length characters; defaults to 6.

Response fields data — 1

changedboolWhether the password was changed.

Errors 5

not_found404No such client.

password_required422The password is empty.

Pitfalls

Changing the password asks for no old one

The endpoint is an operator tool: it writes a new password without knowing the current one. The flow where a client changes their own password is a different one and lives in the Client API.

Verifying sends no code

verify only sets the flag; no email or SMS reaches the client. Call it after your own verification flow has run, not instead of it.

The two proxy fields are opposites

block_proxy blocks and allow_proxy exempts. Sending both as on leaves a contradictory state; send only the one you mean.
