Change temporary password - chicken and egg??? about warrant HOT 8 CLOSED

Don't use except without a specific exception.

except ForceChangePasswordException:

When this exception occurs you need to call set_new_password_challenge(new_password)
https://github.com/capless/warrant/blob/master/warrant/aws_srp.py#L224

from warrant.

@flycast it's a bad practice to use '*' in imports, be patient with it.

Thanks for the fast response.
Changed to:

try:
    cog.authenticate(password)
except ForceChangePasswordException:
    cog.change_password(password, new_password)

Get:

NameError: name 'ForceChangePasswordException' is not defined

from warrant.

You need to import it from
https://github.com/capless/warrant/blob/master/warrant/exceptions.py

from warrant.

Thank you for your patience and help. I really appreciate how prompt you have been.

I am a python 3 noobie. For those who run into this issue you can import the exceptions using:

from warrant.exceptions import *

from warrant.

Better to only import the bare minimum that you need?
from warrant.exceptions import ForceChangePasswordException

from warrant.

Can we close this one?

I'm loathe to re-raise this issue, but I keep getting the following error and it seems connected to this issue:

raise ParamValidationError(report=report.generate_report())
botocore.exceptions.ParamValidationError: Parameter validation failed:
Invalid type for parameter AuthParameters.USERNAME, value: None, type: <type 'NoneType'>, valid types: <type 'basestring'>

My code looks like this:

cog = Cognito(identity_pool_id, app_client_id, username)
cog.new_password_challenge(password, new_password)

Where obviously those variables are set elsewhere in my code
