Hello Box Support,

When the connected App-created user is in the Password Reset stage, we receive the below response while generating the token using the Box credentials.

RESPONSE:
400 - {"error":"password_reset_required","error_description":"User needs to reset password"}

When the user reset the password then we no longer receive this error.

Is there any way to bypass this error even when a user is in the Password Reset stage?

Also, we would like to know what happens if that user is deactivated from that Box account. What will happen in that case?

Regards,
Viral Hirpara

Hi Rona,

Any updates?

I need the Box API details to find out when my Box password is going to expire or when it was last updated.
