Validate Password

post https://{host}/auth/v1/web/password/validate

Validates the password of an existing user account

Validates the password of an existing user account and generates an access token and a key when using a mobile application. By default, the token remains valid for 15 minutes, and the key can be used to regenerate a new token.

A first-time user cannot directly validate the password. Instead, the user must enter the password during token generation, generate OTP, and validate it using an OTP. From the next login onward, the user can directly validate the password.
