Reset Password

Admins can manually reset a password for any user directly from the Keycloak admin console. This is useful when a user is locked out or has forgotten their credentials.

Reset a User’s Password

1. In the Keycloak admin console, click Users in the left sidebar.

2. Find and click on the user whose password you want to reset.

3. Go to the Credentials tab on the user’s profile page.

4. Click the Reset password button.

5. Enter a new temporary password and confirm it.

6. Toggle Temporary to On if you want the user to be prompted to change their password on next login (recommended), or Off to set it as permanent.

7. Click Save to confirm.

Tip

Setting the password as Temporary is recommended — it forces the user to create their own secure password on first login.

The user can now log in with the new password. If temporary was enabled, they will be prompted to set a new one immediately after signing in.
