HI Everyone, (@Ashok @mihirshah2500 @rajanprabu @Saidareddy )

We are excited to announce the launch of our new login service that now allows users to login with their PIN in addition to their password.

The new login service solves the problem of newly onboarded Angel One clients who were unable to access SmartAPI due to non-availability of the password, and also solves the problem of users who have forgotten their passwords and were unable to reset them.

Starting today, users will be able to use either their PIN or password to authenticate with Angel One SmartAPI with the existing loginByPassword API endpoint.

The request structure of the current loginbyPassword API endpoint is as below:

{
"clientcode":"Your_client_code",
"password":"Your_Password" OR "Your_PIN"
"totp":"enter_the_code_displayed_on_your_authenticator_app"
}

Likewise, to set up the one time TOTP on https://smartapi.angelbroking.com/enable-totp to retrieve the QR code, users can either login with their password OR PIN . To learn more about TOTP and how to setup TOTP, please visit - https://smartapi.angelbroking.com/topic/2377/guide-to-secure-your-smartapi-account-with-two-factor-authentication?_=1670353255986

By the end of this month (i.e. December 31, 2022), we will be discontinuing the use of passwords for login, so we encourage all users to set up their PIN as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy trading with SmartAPI.

@admin So, instead of passing our password, we just pass our MPIN? With the Python SDK will this work?
"obj.generateSession('client_code', 'mpin, 'totp')"

admin

Yes @pari , it will work

@admin said in Important Announcement: Change in Angel One Login Policy:

he new login process will be MPIN based. We will introduce a new login endpoint giving our users sufficient time to migrate to the new login endpoint.

I'm already using TOPT based log in, but it is not allowing me to login for the last one week. It is not accepting the login with Client ID and Password as well, it says invalid user ID and Password. Can you resolve this issue?

Hi @admin, currently I am using below code to do login through the python code.
connect1.generateSession(clientCode=client_id, password=password, totp=totp)
Do I need to change anything here? Please suggest.

Thanks,
Ravi

@admin
Does that means instead of Password we need to use PIN for login through smartaapi

your doc says

Login Request
{
"clientcode":"Your_client_code",
"password":"Your_pin"
"totp":"enter_the_code_displayed_on_your_authenticator_app"
}

We use PIN instead of Password?

admin

@vijayyande yes absolutely

Dear customers,

After careful consideration, we have decided to extend the timeline for the discontinuation of password use for login from December 31, 2022 to January 2, 2023. We understand that some users may need additional time to set up their PIN or make any necessary adjustments to their login process. By extending the timeline, we hope to ensure a smooth transition for all of our users.

We encourage all users to replace password credentials with PIN credentials as soon as possible to ensure a seamless login experience. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to continuing to provide a reliable and secure login experience with Angel One SmartAPI.

@admin
Hi,
After making changes in url as per mpin, the call was successful with following response:

StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: 'OK', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionResponseContent, Headers:
{
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: close
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 0
}

in it, why "Connection: close" ?

Please review response, and suggest if it's as expected, or any more information was expected in it?

Thanks

@admin

Are these changes updated in SmartAPI documentation.
If so, please provide the reference page.

Thanks

@admin said in Important Announcement: Change in Angel One Login Policy:

passwords for login

SmartAPI documentation at https://smartapi.angelbroking.com/docs/User still mentions "passwords for login".

If I am missing the correct url for SmartAPI documentation, provide me the correct url.

Thanks
