Forgot your password using ASP.Net Membership Provider?

Question

Is it possible to implement a "forgotten password" using the ASP.Net membership provider?

Any sample link is appreciated.

thanks

Answer 1

Use PasswordRecovery or you can call the GetPassword () or ResetPassword () methods in your provider membership.

Answer 2

The best solution I've seen so far is to reset as follows:

MemberShipUser user = MemberShip.GetUset("someUserName"); user.ChangePassword(user.ResetPassword(), "new-password-word"); 

This is very convenient, especially if your passwords are hashed.
