Hello everyone, is there currently any way to update identity password in kratos except self-service settings or recovery?
Or when it is planned to introduce identity password update through admin API?

Hi <@U02NN5E8FLY>

No there is no way to manually update the user's password through the admin API. You can, however, create a recovery link for the user through the admin API which you should send to them (email, sms etc.) to complete the recovery flow.

Thank for the reply, I considered the recovery link method, but as everything has to be completed through API methods, seems like it is impossible to complete the password update by now.
