How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that the user must change their password before they can log in. This can have a significant impact on an application, as it can prevent users from accessing the application until they have changed their password. This can lead to user frustration and can also cause delays in the application's operations. Additionally, it can also lead to security issues if users are not required to change their passwords regularly.
