Change Password (Self-Service) Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Let an authenticated user change their own password from a new Account Settings page, verifying the current password, enforcing the existing Identity policy, and revoking the user's other sessions on success.
Architecture: New POST /api/auth/change-password endpoint → AuthService.ChangePasswordAsync uses UserManager.ChangePasswordAsync (verifies current password + applies policy + bumps SecurityStamp), then revokes the user's other refresh tokens (keeps the current cookie's token) and writes a security audit entry. Frontend adds a /user-portal/account page hosting a focused ChangePasswordFormComponent, an authService.changePassword() call, and wires the previously-disabled user-menu "Settings" item to the page.
Tech Stack: C# / ASP.NET Core Identity / EF Core (in-memory for tests) / xUnit + Moq (backend); Angular standalone components / Reactive Forms / Kendo UI v20 / Karma + Jasmine (frontend). No DB migration — uses inherited IdentityUser.PasswordHash/SecurityStamp and the existing RefreshToken table.
Reference spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-23-change-password-design.md
No schema change / no migration is required.

Task 1: Add PasswordChanged audit action + ChangePasswordRequest DTO
Files:
-
Modify:
API/ROLAC.API/Entities/Logging/AuditLog.cs:39-61 -
Create:
API/ROLAC.API/DTOs/Auth/ChangePasswordRequest.cs -
Step 1: Add the
PasswordChangedconstant
In API/ROLAC.API/Entities/Logging/AuditLog.cs, inside public static class AuditActions, add the constant after RoleChanged (line 47) and include it in the All list.
Add the field (after the RoleChanged line):
public const string PasswordChanged = "PasswordChanged";
Then update the All collection to include it — change the existing block to:
public static readonly IReadOnlyList<string> All =
[
Create, Update, Delete, Login, Logout, LoginFailed, RoleChanged,
PasswordChanged, UserDeactivated, PermissionChanged, CheckIssued,
CheckVoided, ExpenseApproved, StatementFinalized,
];
- Step 2: Create the request DTO
Create API/ROLAC.API/DTOs/Auth/ChangePasswordRequest.cs:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace ROLAC.API.DTOs.Auth;
public class ChangePasswordRequest
{
[Required]
[MaxLength(128)]
public string CurrentPassword { get; set; } = null!;
[Required]
[MinLength(8)]
[MaxLength(128)]
public string NewPassword { get; set; } = null!;
}
- Step 3: Build to verify it compiles
Run: dotnet build API/ROLAC.API/ROLAC.API.csproj -c Release
Expected: Build succeeded (0 errors).
- Step 4: Commit
git add API/ROLAC.API/Entities/Logging/AuditLog.cs API/ROLAC.API/DTOs/Auth/ChangePasswordRequest.cs
git commit -m "feat(auth): add PasswordChanged audit action and ChangePasswordRequest DTO"
Task 2: Add ChangePasswordAsync to the auth service (TDD)
Files:
- Modify:
API/ROLAC.API/Services/IAuthService.cs - Modify:
API/ROLAC.API/Services/AuthService.cs - Test:
API/ROLAC.API.Tests/Services/AuthServiceTests.cs
The existing test helper BuildUserManager (lines 34-58) does not set up ChangePasswordAsync. We add a setup so the mock returns a configurable result.
- Step 1: Extend the
BuildUserManagerhelper to supportChangePasswordAsync
In API/ROLAC.API.Tests/Services/AuthServiceTests.cs, change the BuildUserManager signature and add one setup. Replace the method signature line and add the setup before return mgr;.
Change the signature (line 34-37) to add a changePasswordResult parameter:
private static Mock<UserManager<AppUser>> BuildUserManager(
AppUser? findResult = null,
bool passwordOk = true,
IList<string>? roles = null,
IdentityResult? changePasswordResult = null)
{
Add this setup just before return mgr; (after the UpdateAsync setup at line 54-55):
mgr.Setup(m => m.ChangePasswordAsync(
It.IsAny<AppUser>(), It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>()))
.ReturnsAsync(changePasswordResult ?? IdentityResult.Success);
- Step 2: Write the failing tests
Append these tests inside the AuthServiceTests class in API/ROLAC.API.Tests/Services/AuthServiceTests.cs (before the closing brace), adding a section header:
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Change password tests
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Fact]
public async Task ChangePassword_ValidRequest_Succeeds()
{
var user = new AppUser { Id = "u1", Email = "a@b.com", UserName = "a@b.com", IsActive = true };
var um = BuildUserManager(findResult: user);
var ts = BuildTokenService();
var sut = BuildSut(um, ts, BuildDb());
var result = await sut.ChangePasswordAsync("u1", "Old1234!", "New1234!", null);
Assert.True(result.Succeeded);
um.Verify(m => m.ChangePasswordAsync(user, "Old1234!", "New1234!"), Times.Once);
}
[Fact]
public async Task ChangePassword_UnknownUser_Fails()
{
var um = BuildUserManager(findResult: null);
var ts = BuildTokenService();
var sut = BuildSut(um, ts, BuildDb());
var result = await sut.ChangePasswordAsync("missing", "Old1234!", "New1234!", null);
Assert.False(result.Succeeded);
um.Verify(m => m.ChangePasswordAsync(
It.IsAny<AppUser>(), It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>()), Times.Never);
}
[Fact]
public async Task ChangePassword_WrongCurrentPassword_ReturnsFailure()
{
var user = new AppUser { Id = "u1", Email = "a@b.com", UserName = "a@b.com", IsActive = true };
var failed = IdentityResult.Failed(new IdentityError { Description = "Incorrect password." });
var um = BuildUserManager(findResult: user, changePasswordResult: failed);
var ts = BuildTokenService();
var sut = BuildSut(um, ts, BuildDb());
var result = await sut.ChangePasswordAsync("u1", "WrongOld!", "New1234!", null);
Assert.False(result.Succeeded);
}
[Fact]
public async Task ChangePassword_Success_RevokesOtherSessionsButKeepsCurrent()
{
var user = new AppUser { Id = "u1", Email = "a@b.com", UserName = "a@b.com", IsActive = true };
var um = BuildUserManager(findResult: user);
var ts = BuildTokenService(); // HashToken(x) => "hash:{x}"
var db = BuildDb();
// Current session token (raw "current-raw" => "hash:current-raw")
db.RefreshTokens.Add(new RefreshToken
{
UserId = "u1",
TokenHash = "hash:current-raw",
ExpiresAt = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(30),
CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-1),
});
// Another active session on a different device
db.RefreshTokens.Add(new RefreshToken
{
UserId = "u1",
TokenHash = "hash:other-device",
ExpiresAt = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(30),
CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-2),
});
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
var sut = BuildSut(um, ts, db);
await sut.ChangePasswordAsync("u1", "Old1234!", "New1234!", "current-raw");
var current = db.RefreshTokens.Single(rt => rt.TokenHash == "hash:current-raw");
var other = db.RefreshTokens.Single(rt => rt.TokenHash == "hash:other-device");
Assert.Null(current.RevokedAt); // current session preserved
Assert.NotNull(other.RevokedAt); // other session revoked
}
- Step 3: Add the interface method
In API/ROLAC.API/Services/IAuthService.cs, add this method to the IAuthService interface (after LogoutAsync, before BuildUserInfoAsync). Add using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity; at the top of the file.
/// <summary>
/// Changes the password for an already-authenticated user. Verifies the current
/// password and enforces the configured Identity password policy via
/// <c>UserManager.ChangePasswordAsync</c>. On success, revokes the user's other
/// active refresh tokens (keeping the one matching <paramref name="currentRawRefreshToken"/>)
/// and writes a security audit entry. Returns the <see cref="IdentityResult"/> so the
/// caller can surface failures; never throws on a bad password.
/// </summary>
Task<IdentityResult> ChangePasswordAsync(
string userId,
string currentPassword,
string newPassword,
string? currentRawRefreshToken);
- Step 4: Implement the service method
In API/ROLAC.API/Services/AuthService.cs, add this method after LogoutAsync (after line 160), before the "Private helpers" region. IdentityResult is available via the existing using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity; (line 1).
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Change password
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
public async Task<IdentityResult> ChangePasswordAsync(
string userId, string currentPassword, string newPassword, string? currentRawRefreshToken)
{
var user = await _userManager.FindByIdAsync(userId);
if (user is null)
return IdentityResult.Failed(new IdentityError
{
Code = "UserNotFound",
Description = "User not found.",
});
var result = await _userManager.ChangePasswordAsync(user, currentPassword, newPassword);
if (!result.Succeeded)
return result;
// Revoke the user's other active sessions; keep the current one alive.
var currentHash = currentRawRefreshToken is null
? null
: _tokenService.HashToken(currentRawRefreshToken);
var otherTokens = await _db.RefreshTokens
.Where(rt => rt.UserId == userId
&& rt.RevokedAt == null
&& rt.TokenHash != currentHash)
.ToListAsync();
foreach (var token in otherTokens)
token.RevokedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
_audit.Write(
AuditActions.PasswordChanged, AuditCategories.Security, LogLevelEnum.Information,
entityName: nameof(AppUser), entityId: user.Id,
summary: $"Password changed: {user.Email}",
userId: user.Id, userEmail: user.Email);
return result;
}
- Step 5: Run the new tests to verify they pass
Run: dotnet test API/ROLAC.API.Tests/ROLAC.API.Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "FullyQualifiedName~ChangePassword"
Expected: 4 tests pass (ChangePassword_ValidRequest_Succeeds, ChangePassword_UnknownUser_Fails, ChangePassword_WrongCurrentPassword_ReturnsFailure, ChangePassword_Success_RevokesOtherSessionsButKeepsCurrent).
- Step 6: Run the full backend suite to confirm nothing regressed
Run: dotnet test API/ROLAC.API.Tests/ROLAC.API.Tests.csproj -c Release
Expected: all tests pass.
- Step 7: Commit
git add API/ROLAC.API/Services/IAuthService.cs API/ROLAC.API/Services/AuthService.cs API/ROLAC.API.Tests/Services/AuthServiceTests.cs
git commit -m "feat(auth): add ChangePasswordAsync with other-session revocation and audit"
Task 3: Add the POST /api/auth/change-password controller endpoint
Files:
- Modify:
API/ROLAC.API/Controllers/AuthController.cs
This codebase unit-tests services, not controllers, so this thin pass-through has no unit test; it is covered by Task 2's service tests and verified by build + the manual smoke test in Task 9.
- Step 1: Add the endpoint
In API/ROLAC.API/Controllers/AuthController.cs, add this action after the Logout action (after line 155), before the "Private helpers" region. The needed usings already exist: System.Security.Claims (line 1), Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization (line 2), ROLAC.API.DTOs.Auth (line 5).
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// POST /api/auth/change-password
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
/// <summary>
/// Changes the current user's password. Requires the correct current password and a
/// new password meeting the configured policy. On success the user's *other* sessions
/// are revoked while the current session stays active.
/// </summary>
[HttpPost("change-password")]
[Authorize]
[ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status204NoContent)]
[ProducesResponseType(StatusCodes.Status400BadRequest)]
public async Task<IActionResult> ChangePassword([FromBody] ChangePasswordRequest request)
{
var userId = User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier) ?? User.FindFirstValue("sub");
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userId))
return Unauthorized();
var currentRefresh = Request.Cookies[CookieName];
var result = await _authService.ChangePasswordAsync(
userId, request.CurrentPassword, request.NewPassword, currentRefresh);
if (!result.Succeeded)
return BadRequest(new
{
message = string.Join(" ", result.Errors.Select(error => error.Description)),
});
return NoContent();
}
- Step 2: Build to verify it compiles
Run: dotnet build API/ROLAC.API/ROLAC.API.csproj -c Release
Expected: Build succeeded (0 errors). If Select is unresolved, add using System.Linq; at the top (it is usually implicit via ImplicitUsings).
- Step 3: Commit
git add API/ROLAC.API/Controllers/AuthController.cs
git commit -m "feat(auth): add POST /api/auth/change-password endpoint"
Task 4: Add password validators (TDD)
Files:
-
Create:
APP/src/app/features/account/validators/password.validators.ts -
Test:
APP/src/app/features/account/validators/password.validators.spec.ts -
Step 1: Write the failing tests
Create APP/src/app/features/account/validators/password.validators.spec.ts:
import { FormControl, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';
import { passwordStrengthValidator, passwordMatchValidator } from './password.validators';
describe('passwordStrengthValidator', () => {
const validate = (value: string) =>

newPassword: new FormControl(next),
confirmPassword: new FormControl(confirm),
});
it('returns null when new matches confirm and differs from current', () => {

expect(passwordMatchValidator()(group)).toBeNull();
});
it('flags a confirm mismatch', () => {
const group = buildGroup('Old1234!', 'New1234!', 'Different1!');
expect(passwordMatchValidator()(group)?.['mismatch']).toBeTrue();
});
it('flags a new password equal to the current password', () => {
const group = buildGroup('Same1234!', 'Same1234!', 'Same1234!');
expect(passwordMatchValidator()(group)?.['sameAsCurrent']).toBeTrue();
});
});
- Step 2: Run the tests to verify they fail
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: FAIL — password.validators module not found / functions undefined.
- Step 3: Implement the validators
Create APP/src/app/features/account/validators/password.validators.ts:
import { AbstractControl, ValidationErrors, ValidatorFn } from '@angular/forms';
/**
* Mirrors the ASP.NET Identity password policy enforced on the server:
* at least 8 characters with an uppercase, a lowercase, a digit, and a
* non-alphanumeric character. Client-side only — the server stays authoritative.
* Returns null for an empty value so the `required` validator owns emptiness.
*/
export function passwordStrengthValidator(): ValidatorFn {
return (control: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors | null => {
const value = control.value as string;
if (!value) {
return null;
}
const errors: ValidationErrors = {};
if (value.length < 8) {
errors['minlength'] = true;
}
if (!/[A-Z]/.test(value)) {
errors['uppercase'] = true;
}
if (!/[a-z]/.test(value)) {

}
if (!/[0-9]/.test(value)) {
errors['digit'] = true;
}
if (!/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/.test(value)) {
errors['special'] = true;
}
return Object.keys(errors).length ? { passwordStrength: errors } : null;
};
}
/**
* Group-level validator: the confirm field must match the new password, and the
* new password must differ from the current one.
*/
export function passwordMatchValidator(): ValidatorFn {
return (group: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors | null => {
const current = group.get('currentPassword')?.value;
const next = group.get('newPassword')?.value;
const confirm = group.get('confirmPassword')?.value;
const errors: ValidationErrors = {};
if (next && confirm && next !== confirm) {
errors['mismatch'] = true;
}
if (next && current && next === current) {
errors['sameAsCurrent'] = true;
}
return Object.keys(errors).length ? errors : null;
};
}
- Step 4: Run the tests to verify they pass
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: PASS — the passwordStrengthValidator and passwordMatchValidator describe blocks are green.
- Step 5: Commit
git add APP/src/app/features/account/validators/password.validators.ts APP/src/app/features/account/validators/password.validators.spec.ts
git commit -m "feat(account): add password strength and match validators"
Task 5: Add changePassword() to the frontend AuthService (TDD)
Files:
-
Modify:
APP/src/app/shared/services/auth.service.ts -
Test:
APP/src/app/shared/services/auth.service.spec.ts -
Step 1: Write the failing test
In APP/src/app/shared/services/auth.service.spec.ts, add this describe block inside the top-level describe('AuthService', ...) (e.g. after the login() block). The service, httpMock, and apiConfig variables are already set up in the file's beforeEach.
// ── changePassword() ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
describe('changePassword()', () => {
it('POSTs current+new password to /api/auth/change-password with credentials', () => {

const req = httpMock.expectOne(`${apiConfig.authUrl}/change-password`);
expect(req.request.method).toBe('POST');
expect(req.request.body).toEqual({

});
});
- Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: FAIL — service.changePassword is not a function.
- Step 3: Implement the method
In APP/src/app/shared/services/auth.service.ts, add this method inside the AuthService class in the "Auth API calls" region (e.g. after logout(), around line 164):
/**
* Changes the current user's password. Sends the cookie so the server can
* keep the current session alive while revoking the user's other sessions.
* Emits void on success (204); errors propagate so the caller can show the
* server message.

}
- Step 4: Run the test to verify it passes
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: PASS — the changePassword() block is green.

- Step 5: Run the tests to verify they pass
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: PASS — all ChangePasswordFormComponent specs green.
- Step 6: Commit
git add APP/src/app/features/account/components/change-password-form/
git commit -m "feat(account): add ChangePasswordFormComponent"
Task 7: Build the Account Settings page, route, and menu wiring
Files:
-
Create:
APP/src/app/features/account/pages/account-settings-page/account-settings-page.component.ts -
Create:
APP/src/app/features/account/pages/account-settings-page/account-settings-page.component.html -
Modify:
APP/src/app/app.routes.ts -
Modify:
APP/src/app/portals/user-portal/components/user-header/user-header.component.ts -
Step 1: Create the page component
Create APP/src/app/features/account/pages/account-settings-page/account-settings-page.component.ts:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { ChangePasswordFormComponent } from '../../components/change-password-form/change-password-form.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-account-settings-page',
standalone: true,
imports: [CommonModule, ChangePasswordFormComponent],
templateUrl: './account-settings-page.component.html',
})
export class AccountSettingsPageComponent {}
- Step 2: Create the page template
Create APP/src/app/features/account/pages/account-settings-page/account-settings-page.component.html:
<div class="p-4 md:p-6">
<section class="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-sm border border-gray-200 p-4 md:p-6 max-w-xl">
<h2 class="text-lg font-semibold mb-1">Change Password</h2>
<p class="text-sm text-gray-500 mb-4">
Changing your password signs you out on your other devices.
</p>
<app-change-password-form></app-change-password-form>
</section>
</div>
- Step 3: Register the route
In APP/src/app/app.routes.ts, add an import near the other page-component imports (after line 25):
import { AccountSettingsPageComponent } from './features/account/pages/account-settings-page/account-settings-page.component';
Then add this route inside the user-portal children array (e.g. right after the dashboard route block, around line 48). No PermissionGuard — any authenticated user may change their own password; the parent AuthGuard already protects it:
{
path: 'account',
component: AccountSettingsPageComponent,
data: { title: 'Account Settings', titleZh: '帳戶設定', section: 'Account' },
},
- Step 4: Wire the "Settings" menu item to the page
In APP/src/app/portals/user-portal/components/user-header/user-header.component.ts, in updateUserMenu() (lines 100-104), change the disabled Settings entry to navigate to the account page. Replace:
{
text: 'Settings',
icon: 'settings',
disabled: true
},
with:
{
text: 'Settings',
icon: 'settings',
click: () => this.router.navigate(['/user-portal/account'])
},
(this.router is already injected in the constructor at line 50, and onUserMenuClick already invokes item.click.)
- Step 5: Build the frontend to verify it compiles
Run from APP/: npx ng build
Expected: Build completes with no errors.
- Step 6: Run the full frontend test suite
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: all tests pass.
- Step 7: Commit
git add APP/src/app/features/account/pages/ APP/src/app/app.routes.ts APP/src/app/portals/user-portal/components/user-header/user-header.component.ts
git commit -m "feat(account): add Account Settings page, route, and wire Settings menu item"
Task 8: Final verification — full suites both layers
- Step 1: Run the full backend suite
Run: dotnet test API/ROLAC.API.Tests/ROLAC.API.Tests.csproj -c Release
Expected: all tests pass.
- Step 2: Run the full frontend suite
Run from APP/: npx ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
Expected: all tests pass.
Task 9 (optional): Manual smoke test against the dev API
Only if you want end-to-end confidence beyond unit tests. Requires running the API from CLI (-c Release to dodge the VS Debug lock) and pointing the SPA at it (see project_build_run_env: dev admin admin@rolac.org / Admin1234!, CORS allows http://localhost:4200).
- Step 1: Log in, change password, verify
- Log in as the seeded admin.
- Open the user menu → Settings → confirm the Account Settings page loads with the Change Password form.
- Submit with a wrong current password → expect an inline/toast error ("Incorrect password.").
- Submit with the correct current password and a policy-valid new password → expect a success toast and the form to reset.
- Log in again with the new password to confirm it took effect.
- (Optional) Restore the original password afterward so the seed login still works.
Self-review notes
- Spec coverage: endpoint + service (Task 2-3), policy enforcement via
UserManager.ChangePasswordAsync(Task 2), revoke-others-keep-current (Task 2 + test), audit entry (Task 1-2),/user-portal/accountpage +ChangePasswordFormComponent+ Settings wiring (Task 6-7),authService.changePassword(Task 5), backend + frontend tests (throughout). All spec sections map to a task. - No DB migration — confirmed: uses inherited Identity password fields and the existing
RefreshTokentable. - Type consistency:
ChangePasswordAsync(userId, currentPassword, newPassword, currentRawRefreshToken)signature is identical in interface (Task 2 Step 3), implementation (Step 4), and controller call (Task 3). Validator namespasswordStrengthValidator/passwordMatchValidatorand error keys (passwordStrength,mismatch,sameAsCurrent) match across validator (Task 4), component (Task 6), and templates.
