def modify_password(authenticator,username):

    config = yaml.load(file, Loader=SafeLoader)

if st.session_state['user_authenticated']:       
    try:
        if authenticator.reset_password(username, 'Reset password'):
            st.success('Password modified successfully') 
    except Exception as e:
        st.error(e)

with open(path + 'config.yaml', 'w') as file:
    yaml.dump(config, file, default_flow_style=False)

Hi can you please share your entire script if possible?

Yes,I added it above.

Hi can you please share your entire script if possible? What's the check_credentials() in reset_password() in authenticate.py for ? I think the reason is check_credentials() returns false.

    if reset_password_form.form_submit_button('Reset'):
        if self._check_credentials(inplace=False):
            if len(new_password) > 0:
            ........

Hi @LiminLN, make sure to check if you're writing to the right config file. You can easily debug your code by trying to change the file locally with yaml.dump. Also, I've put it within the write to .yaml piece within the if success part of the code:

                    with open('config.yaml', 'w') as file:
                        print('open yaml config')
                        yaml.dump(config, file, default_flow_style=False)
                        print('yaml config saved')
                    st.success('User registered successfully')```

                    st.success('User registered successfully')```

Thank you ! I tried the code above and the config.yaml file doesnot opened.

IT is solved today in this way:

create a new file named "4_modify_password.py":

path = 'D:\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\streamlit\triathlon\'

with open(path + 'config.yaml') as file: config = yaml.load(file, Loader=SafeLoader)

authenticator = stauth.Authenticate( config['credentials'], config['cookie']['name'], config['cookie']['key'], config['cookie']['expiry_days'], config['preauthorized'] )

try: if authenticator.reset_password(st.session_state['username_login'], 'Reset password'): st.success('Password modified successfully') except Exception as e: st.error(e)

with open(path + 'config.yaml', 'w') as file: yaml.dump(config, file, default_flow_style=False)
