[BUG] [Team Kimiko: #BE C# ] Fix 404 Error on Password Change Request

[GeekMayowa]

Description

The password change functionality is currently broken due to a 404 error when attempting to send a password change. This error is preventing users from successfully updating their passwords. The purpose of this issue is to identify and resolve the cause of the 404 error, ensuring that the request is correctly routed and processed by the backend.

Acceptance Criteria

• The POST request for changing the password must target the correct API endpoint.
• The endpoint should be properly mapped in the backend routing configuration.
• The POST request should successfully reach the server without returning a 404 error.
• The server should correctly process the request and update the user's password.
• If the user input is invalid (e.g., incorrect old password, weak new password), the backend should return a relevant 4xx error code (e.g., 400 Bad Request) with an appropriate error message.
• The frontend should handle any errors returned by the backend and display relevant messages to the user.
• Carry out unit tests and integration tests to ensure the password change functionality works as expected.
• Perform manual testing to verify that the 404 error no longer occurs and that the password change process completes successfully.

Requirements

• [ ] Review and confirm the correct API endpoint for handling password change requests.
• [ ] Ensure that the frontend is configured to send the POST request to the correct URL.
• [ ] Backend Routing Configuration:
• [ ] Verify that the backend routing is correctly set up to handle the POST request.
• [ ] Update any misconfigurations or missing routes that could cause a 404 error.
• [ ] Logging and Monitoring:
• [ ] Add logging to capture detailed information about incoming POST requests and any routing errors.
• [ ] Monitor logs for any additional issues that might cause similar errors.
• [ ] Update the API documentation to reflect the correct endpoint and usage for the password change feature.
• [ ] Ensure that the frontend developers are aware of any changes to the API endpoint.

Expected Outcome

• The POST request for changing passwords should be routed correctly and processed by the backend without returning a 404 error.
• Users should be able to successfully change their passwords with appropriate error handling and feedback in case of invalid inputs.
• The issue should be fully resolved, with no further occurrences of the 404 error when changing passwords.

@GeekMayowa please this is false. The update Password is working perfectly well

I do not think so, when I tested it, it did not work and as you can see from the screenshot, there is a pop-up showing an error.
