Method PasswordUpdate(DEPRECATED)

The PasswordUpdate method, as the name implies, is used to change the user’s SBA application password. In case of errors, both an error number and text message will be returned. Passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters long, containing at least 3 of the 4 character classes (uppercase letter, lowercase letter, numeric digits and special characters).

This method has largely been taken over by the flexible interface, ELend, PasswordUpdate. Use of this legacy interface is deprecated.

See Generate_PIN for a description of how to provide the PIN input.
