Change password

This endpoint completes the password reset flow by applying a new password. The user must supply the reset code they received by email (from the Reset Password step), along with their email address and the desired new password.

Alternatively, if "Allow Reset password with JWT" is enabled in the plugin settings, a valid JWT can be used instead of a reset code.

METHOD : PUT
