# Reset the login of a Payment Profile

`POST /sandbox/payment_profile/reset_login`

> **Deprecated.**

`/sandbox/payment_profile/reset_login` forces a Payment Profile into a state where the login is no longer valid. This makes it easy to test update mode for Payment Profile in the Sandbox environment.

 After calling `/sandbox/payment_profile/reset_login`, calls to the `/transfer/authorization/create` with the Payment Profile will result in a `decision_rationale` `PAYMENT_PROFILE_LOGIN_REQUIRED`. You can then use update mode for Payment Profile to restore it into a good state.

 In order to invoke this endpoint, you must first [create a Payment Profile](https://plaid.com/docs/transfer/add-to-app/#create-a-payment-profile-optional) and [go through the Link flow](https://plaid.com/docs/transfer/add-to-app/#create-a-link-token).
