Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. Your question seems incomplete. Could you please provide more details or context? Are you asking about how to use a specific feature of Ory, or how to set up or configure something? The more details you provide, the better I can assist you.

Based on the provided knowledge sources, it's possible to update an identity's credentials using the
PUT /admin/identities/{id}
endpoint of the Ory Admin API. However, the exact details or the specific request body for updating credentials are not provided in the sources. Here is the general process for updating an identity: 1. Authenticate your request. You need to be authenticated by means of the
oryAccessToken
method. 2. Send a
PUT
request to the
/admin/identities/{id}
endpoint, where
{id}
is the ID of the identity you want to update. 3. In the request body, provide the full identity payload (except credentials if you don't want to update them). If you want to update the credentials as well, include them in the payload. The exact structure of the payload for updating credentials is not specified in the sources. Please refer to the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api) for more details. Note that you should ensure that the data you provide is valid according to your schema. Here is an example of how you might structure your request in curl:
Copy code
bash curl -X PUT <https://your-ory-instance.com/admin/identities/{id}> \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORY_API_KEY" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{   "schema_id": "your-schema-id",   "traits": {     // your traits here   },   // include credentials here if you want to update them }'
Replace
<https://your-ory-instance.com>
with your actual Ory instance URL,
{id}
with the ID of the identity you want to update,
$ORY_API_KEY
with your actual Ory API key,
"your-schema-id"
with your actual schema ID, and the comment placeholders with the actual data. Please note that this is a general guide and might need adjustments based on your specific use case and the actual structure of the credentials payload. Always refer to the official Ory documentation and API reference for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

@chilly-king-10285 when i update the credentials field in payload i don't see it getting updated for identity
b
A message from kapa.ai
The provided knowledge sources do not contain specific information about updating the credentials field for an identity using the Ory Admin API. However, it's mentioned that the full identity payload (except credentials) is expected when updating an identity. This might suggest that the credentials field is not directly updatable via the
PUT /admin/identities/{id}
endpoint. If you're having trouble updating the credentials for an identity, it might be due to the way the Ory system handles credentials. In many systems, credentials are often handled separately from other user data for security reasons. For more accurate information, I would recommend checking the official [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/) or the [Ory API reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api) for the specific endpoint you're using. If you're still having issues, consider reaching out to Ory's support or community forums for assistance.

@chilly-king-10285 can i force user to do signup if they have already signed up before?
b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on the provided knowledge sources, Ory does not support forcing a user to sign up again if they have already registered. When users attempt to sign up with an identifier (username, email address, etc.) which has previously been registered, they will be presented with an error explaining that an identity is already created for that identifier. This is a security measure to prevent duplicate accounts. However, Ory provides "login hints" to help users remember their authentication method. If a user attempts to sign up with an identifier that already exists, a login hint will provide a message indicating what authentication method is available for the user's identifier. This feature is enabled by default for newly created Ory Network Projects. To enable login hints, you can edit your Ory Identities configuration directly or use the following CLI command:
Copy code
bash ory list workspaces # to get the workspace id   ory list projects --workspace <workspace-id> # to get the project id      ory patch project --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> \     --replace '/services/identity/config/selfservice/flows/registration/login_hints=true'
For more details, please refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/login-hint).
