# CIAM-Passwordless-Protect-Change-Password-Subflow

The CIAM-Passwordless-Protect-Change-Password-Subflow lets users change their passwords.

## Purpose

The **CIAM-Passwordless-Protect-Change-Password-Subflow** displays a password reset form, letting users enter their current password and enter and verify a new password. If the new passwords match, the user's password is updated in PingOne.

## Structure

Diagram of the structure, as described below.

This flow is divided into sections using teleport nodes:

* **User Enter Password**

  Presents the user with an HTML password reset form. The flow then progresses to the **Update Password** section.

* **Update Password**

  Compares the new password and confirmed password. If they match, a PingOne node updates the user's password. The flow then either displays a success message for the user or progresses to the **Return Success** section, depending on the value of the `showSuccessMessage` input.

* **Return Error**

  Sends a JSON error message.

* **Return Success**

  Sends a JSON success message.
