Changes the password of a user. It first matches the oldPassword you specify to the current password using modUser->passwordMatches($oldPassword), then sets the password and finally it invokes the OnUserChangePassword event. Returns true if the password was changed, false if not.
Syntax¶
boolean changePassword (string $newPassword, string $oldPassword)
Example¶
Change the password of the user 'foobar' from 'boo123' to 'b33r4me'
$user = $modx->getObject('modUser',array('username' => 'foobar'));
$user->changePassword('b33r4me', 'boo123');
Change the password of the user currently logged in from 'mypass' to 's3cur3d'.
$modx->user->changePassword('s3cur3d','mypass');
