`useChangePassword`

Overview

The useChangePassword hook allows users to securely change their password. It encrypts the email, current password, and new password using a public key to ensure that sensitive data is transmitted securely.

Usage Example

import { useChangePassword, usePublicKey } from "@replyke/react-js";
 
function ChangePasswordForm() {
  const changePassword = useChangePassword();
  const publicKey = usePublicKey();
 
  const handleChangePassword = async () => {
    try {
      await changePassword({
        publicKeyBase64: publicKey,
        email: "[email protected]",
        password: "currentPassword123",
        newPassword: "newSecurePassword456",
      });
 
      console.log("Password changed successfully");
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Failed to change password:", error.message);
    }
  };
 
  return <button onClick={handleChangePassword}>Change Password</button>;
}
