  title: 'Amazon Cognito Identity Provider #X Amz Target=AWSCognitoIdentityProviderService.AdminSetUserPassword API'
  description: <p>With the Amazon Cognito user pools API, you can set up user pools and app clients, and authenticate users. To authenticate users from third-party identity providers (IdPs) in this API, you can <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation-consolidate-users.html">link IdP users to native user profiles</a>. Learn more about the authentication and authorization of federated users in the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-userpools-server-contract-reference.html">Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints</a>.</p> <p>This API reference provides detailed information about API operations and object types in Amazon Cognito. At the bottom of the page for each API operation and object, under <i>See Also</i>, you can learn how to use it in an Amazon Web Services SDK in the language of your choice.</p> <p>Along with resource management operations, the Amazon Cognito user pools API includes classes of operations and authorization models for client-side and server-side user operations.

      description: <p>Sets the specified user's password in a user pool as an administrator. Works on any user. </p> <p>The password can be temporary or permanent. If it is temporary, the user status enters the <code>FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD</code> state. When the user next tries to sign in, the InitiateAuth/AdminInitiateAuth response will contain the <code>NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED</code> challenge. If the user doesn't sign in before it expires, the user won't be able to sign in, and an administrator must reset their password. </p> <p>Once the user has set a new password, or the password is permanent, the user status is set to <code>Confirmed</code>.</p> <p> <code>AdminSetUserPassword</code> can set a password for the user profile that Amazon Cognito creates for third-party federated users. When you set a password, the federated user's status changes from <code>EXTERNAL_PROVIDER</code> to <code>CONFIRMED</code>. A user in this state can sign in as a federated user, and initiate authentication flows in the API like a linked native user. They can also modify their password and attributes in token-authenticated API requests like <code>ChangePassword</code> and <code>UpdateUserAttributes</code>. As a best security practice and to keep users in sync with your external IdP, don't set passwords on federated user profiles. To set up a federated user for native sign-in with a linked native user, refer to <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation-consolidate-users.html">Linking federated users to an existing user profile</a>.</p> <note> <p>Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.</p> <p class="title"> <b>Learn more</b> </p> <ul> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-signing.html">Signing Amazon Web Services API Requests</a> </p> </li> <li> <p> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pools-API-operations.html">Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints</a> </p> </li> </ul> </note>
