update user authentication details in supabase

Question

I try to update user authenticate details in supabase using flask.

supabase_client.auth.update_user({"id": email,"password": new_password })

this is the am using to update the password in user authentication. First I request the password from user and then update that in Users table also in authentication.

@app.route('/reset', methods=['GET','POST'])
   def reset():
       if request.method == 'POST':
           try:
            email=request.form['email']
            new_password = request.form['new_password']
            #update new password in the supabase in table name Users
            user=supabase_client.auth.get_user()
            supabase_client.auth.update_user({"id": email,"password": new_password })
            supabase_client.from_('Users').update({'password': new_password}).eq('email', email).execute()
            flash('password is updated')
            return render_template('login.html')

This is the route I used to reset the password. But am getting API error

supabase_client.auth.update_user({"id": email,"password": new_password })

I just want to know if I'm using the correct method or not, also if someone know how to update user authentication details in supabase using flask.

You didn't post your API error. Also, what do you mean by 'this is the am using to update the password in user authentication'? — Pawel Kam

There are two ways to update the user data one is:

supabase_client.auth.update_user({"id": email, "password": new_password })

but for this one, the user needs to be logged in first e.g. You want to update the user email, first that user need to be logged in after that it'll update the user data otherwise it will arise the error. This method also sends you the email to the new email address. But I have face some issues in that one:

It didn't send me any email to my primary email
It sends me email to the new email address and it also shows in the response the updated email but didn't update it on the database.

So, I tried another method which is:

supabase_client.auth.admin.update_user_by_id({"id": email, "password": new_password })

This one updates the email in the DB, but it requires.
