mod_invites_register_api: Use set_password() for password resets
Previously the code relied on the (weird) behaviour of create_user(), which
would update the password for a user account if it already existed. This has
several issues, and we plan to deprecate this behaviour of create_user().
The larger issue is that this route does not trigger the user-password-changed
event, which can be a security problem. For example, it did not disconnect
existing user sessions (this occurs in mod_c2s in response to the event).
Switching to set_password() is the right thing to do

--- summary: Module for improving the life of bot authors --- This module makes it easier to write MUC bots by removing the requirement that the bot be online and joined to the room. All the bot needs to do is send a message and this module handles the rest. # Configuration Example configuration in Prosody: ```lua Component "muc.example.com" "muc" modules_enabled = { "muc_bot", } known_bots = { "bot@example.com" } bots_get_messages = false ignore_bot_errors = true ``` # Sending messages Simply send a stanza like this from your bot: ```xml <message type="groupchat" to="channel@muc.example.com"> <body>Beep boop, I'm a bot!</body> <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Botty</nick> </message> ``` ## Use with mod_rest Using [mod_rest] to interact with MUC suffers from the same need to join with an online resource, so this module helps with that as well! ```bash curl https://xmpp.example.com/rest/message/groupchat/room@muc.example.com \ -d body="beep boop" \ -d nick="Botty" ``` # Compatibility Works with Prosody 0.12 or later.
