The security service allows a user to register for an account or change their password when they want to rotate credentials. The option to change their password is protected so that only the owner of the password can change the password. The registration of a new account is open for everyone. The User Management endpoint which allows the changing of passwords is protected using Basic Authentication and requires a username and password. Thus, the Security Service complies with RFC 7617 to support Basic Authentication.
