public sealed class ChangePasswordWithToken : HandlerBase<UpdateSessionParameter, UpdateSessionResult>
{
    private readonly Lazy<IAuthenticationService> authenticationService;
 
    public ChangePasswordWithToken(Lazy<IAuthenticationService> authenticationService)
    {
        this.authenticationService = authenticationService;
    }
 
    public override int Order => 800;
 
    public override UpdateSessionResult Execute(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork, UpdateSessionParameter parameter, UpdateSessionResult result)
    {
        if (parameter.ResetToken.IsBlank() || parameter.NewPassword.IsBlank())
        {
            return this.NextHandler.Execute(unitOfWork, parameter, result);
        }
 
        if (parameter.UserName.IsBlank())
        {
            return this.CreateErrorServiceResult(result, SubCode.AccountServiceUserProfileNotFound, MessageProvider.Current.User_Not_Found);
        }
 
        if (!this.authenticationService.Value.IsValidPassword(parameter.NewPassword))
        {
            return this.CreateErrorServiceResult(result, SubCode.AccountServicePasswordDoesNotMeetComplexity, MessageProvider.Current.ChangePasswordInfo_Password_Not_Meet_Requirements);
        }
 
        if (!this.authenticationService.Value.ResetPasswordForUser(parameter.UserName, parameter.NewPassword, parameter.ResetToken))
        {
            return this.CreateErrorServiceResult(result, SubCode.AccountServiceUnableToChangePassword, MessageProvider.Current.ChangePasswordInfo_Unable_To_Change_Password);

        }
 
        this.authenticationService.Value.UnlockUser(parameter.UserName);
 
        userProfile.PasswordChangedOn = DateTimeProvider.Current.Now;
        userProfile.IsPasswordChangeRequired = false;
