They say they removed it on 12 and above, use Admin Rest API instead.

Comment by vmuzikar to KEYCLOAK-15395. Removed unnecessary Account REST API endpoints

@loudmouth @MatCuk AFAIK there're no plans to support credentials modifications …via REST API as it was considered a security risk. An app that is secured by Keycloak should not have access to the user credentials. As an alternative, you can use [Application Initiated Actions (AIA)](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-community/blob/master/design/application-initiated-actions.md) to trigger a browser flow where user will be prompted to update their password. This is [what the new Account Console uses](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/e56bd9d8b8cbaf4600e6bcc5e28c962eb561d74c/themes/src/main/resources/theme/keycloak.v2/account/src/app/util/AIACommand.ts). Another option is to [use Admin REST API](https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/12.0/rest-api/index.html#_resetpassword).
