User password can be changed using the change_password API method. Two request types are available: with the PUT and PATCH methods. Before changing the password it is recommended to check new password correspondence with the requirements that are set in security settings.

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <user token>" -d '{"password":"<new password>","confirm_password":"<repeat new password>","old_password":"<old password>"}' "<IP address or server DNS name>/api/v1/accounts/current_user/change_password/"
Password change request using the PATCH method:
curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <user token>" -d '{"password":"<new password>","confirm_password":"<repeat new password>","old_password":"<old password>"}' "<IP address or server DNS name>/api/v1/accounts/current_user/change_password/"
