How to Reset Customer Password using Console Command in Magento 2?

Hello Magento Friends,

In today’s blog, I will explain How to Reset Customer Password using Console Command in Magento 2.

With default Magento 2, when an admin requests a reset password for the customer, Magento will send a reset password link in the customer’s email and request them to create a new password. But if the customer is unable to receive emails, the below method will help reset the customer’s password in Magento 2 easily.

Steps to Reset Customer Password using Console Command in Magento 2:

Step 1: First, we need to create a “di.xml” file inside the extension etc directory of our extension.

app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc

Then add the below code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Vendor\Extension\Command\Changepasswordcommand">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="resource" xsi:type="object">Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\Customer\Proxy</argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>
    <type name="Magento\Framework\Console\CommandList">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="commands" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="customer-change-password-console-command"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Extension\Command\Changepasswordcommand
                </item>
            </argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>
</config>

Step 2: After that, we need to create a “Changepasswordcommand.php” file inside the extension at the following path.

app\code\Vendor\Extension\Command\

Now add the below-mentioned code

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Command;

use Magento\Customer\Model\Customer;
use Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory;
use Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\Customer as CustomerResource;
use Magento\Framework\App\Area;
use Magento\Framework\App\State as AppState;
use Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException;
use Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputArgument;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

class Changepasswordcommand extends Command
{
    private $customerFactory;
    private $customerResource;
    private $storeManager;
    private $input;
    private $appState;
    
    public function __construct(
        CustomerFactory $customerFactory,
        StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        CustomerResource $resource,
        AppState $state
    ) {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->customerFactory = $customerFactory;
        $this->customerResource = $resource;
        $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
        $this->appState = $state;
    }
    protected function configure()
    {
        $this->setName('customer:change-password');
        $this->setDescription('Set a customers password');
        $this->addOption(
            'website',
            'w',
            InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL,
            'Website code if customer accounts are website scope'
        );
        $this->addArgument('email', InputArgument::REQUIRED, 'Customer Email');
        $this->addArgument('password', InputArgument::REQUIRED, 'Password to set');
    }
    protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output)
    {
        $this->input = $input;
        try {
            $this->appState->setAreaCode(Area::AREA_ADMINHTML);
            // phpcs:ignore Magento2.CodeAnalysis.EmptyBlock.DetectedCatch
        } catch (LocalizedException $exception) {
        }

        $customer = $this->getCustomerByEmail($this->getEmail());
        $customer->setPassword($this->getPassword());
        $this->customerResource->save($customer);
        $output->writeln(sprintf('Updated password for customer "%s".', $this->getEmail()));
    }
    private function getEmail(): string
    {
        return $this->input->getArgument('email') ?? '';
    }
    private function getPassword(): string
    {
        return $this->input->getArgument('password') ?? '';
    }
    private function getWebsiteCode(): string
    {
        return $this->input->getOption('website') ?? '';
    }
    private function getWebsiteIdByCode(string $code): int
    {
        $website = $this->storeManager->getWebsite($code);
        if (!$website->getId()) {
            throw new \InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('No website with ID "%s" found.', $code));
        }
        return (int)$website->getId();
    }
    private function getCustomerByEmail(string $email): Customer
    {
        $customer = $this->customerFactory->create();
        if ($this->getWebsiteCode()) {
            $websiteId = $this->getWebsiteIdByCode($this->getWebsiteCode());
            $customer->setWebsiteId($websiteId);
        }
        $this->customerResource->loadByEmail($customer, $email);
        if (!$customer->getId()) {
            throw new \InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('No customer with email "%s" found.', $this->getEmail()));
        }
        return $customer;
    }
}

Step 3: Run the Magento upgrade and deploy command after adding both files. Once done with the Magento command, you need to run the below command to reset a specific customer password.

php bin/magento customer:change-password --website base test@example.com password@123

Conclusion:

Hence, using the above steps, you can smoothly Reset the Customer Password using Console Command in Magento 2. Admin can even change Customer Password Programmatically in Magento 2.
