There’s an API on the way! We’ll post about it in News & Announcements as soon as it’s available.
Marlowe - any update on this? I haven’t seen anything in News & Announcements but perhaps I missed it?
@frysingertad You didn’t miss anything—we haven’t released the API yet. But it’s coming soon, and I will report back here when it does so you don’t miss it!
@marlowe-shaeffer Thanks! Is this API also going to include the ability to completely perform a password reset via APIs (i.e. from backend functions)? I have a mobile app that is a companion to the website and I want to be able to offer a seamless way for my mobile app users to reset their password (shared by both the mobile app and the website) from the mobile app without having to pop out to a browser to do so.
@frysingertad Great question. I’ve asked the team and will report back as soon as I have an answer. Thanks!
This is really a blocking issue and going against the brand image…I can’t wait for the solution!!
@marlowe-shaeffer - any update on this? What did the team say about programmatic access to the API?
@frysingertad No reply yet, but I just asked the team again.
Thanks for your feedback—and patience! The API is in development and will be out soon.
@frysingertad I got confirmation from the PM that this API will be available in the backend and front-end.
@marlowe-shaeffer Excellent. Any word on the timing of this? I would be happy to be a tester of it and provide real-world feedback in the meantime!
@frysingertad It’s still in development. I will let you know as soon as it’s available! Thanks for your patience.
@marlowe-shaeffer When my members try to reset their password, they are taken to the password reset page (by wix) which immediately then refreshes and takes them back to the login screen within a few seconds, not allowing the member time to reset their password. This isn’t my question but I bring it to your attention because I’m wondering if it’s a bug related to this development.
It seems to be a recent bug. Searching it brings me here which is mildly related, but given the recentness of the post I just wanted to be sure it was not a bug related to these changes to wix. Thank you for your hard work also.
@zachsanomaly This issue should now be resolved. Please let me know if you’re still seeing it.
The new sendSetPasswordEmail() API is released! Read about it here: https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-members-backend/authentication-obj/sendsetpasswordemail
