By default the Password Recovery control requires the username to send the user the login details. Is there any way I can configure it to work with either the log in name and email address or failing that just email address?

Is it possible to use the PasswordRecovery control to recover a password using the email address instead of the user name?
Ideally I'd like to have the PasswordRecovery control allow users to enter their email address instead of their user name and then proceed to answer the security question.
I had a web application. We needed to move it to anotherserver, after we moved that, the membership database (aspnetdb) did not work.....finally i solved the problem, and now I have another problem. although in the web.config enablepasswordretrieval is set to true, and the type is clear, i get error in password retrieval.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to figure out enabling my users, once logged in, to change their email address that they have registered. As far as I can see it's only held in the aspnet_Membership table.
The code I have so far is as follows, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. No errors either so I can't go down that route yet!

I can't work out what's going wrong
I have been searching since some days for the best approach one can have in order to allow an authenticated user to change his/her email address.
This is the code I have but apparently it doesn't work and it doesnt even gives a error. The application seems to ignore it:
Change email address:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="changemailbtn" runat="server" Text="Button" />
<asp:Label ID="lblErrors" runat="server" EnableViewState="False"

My application can send email using:
new SmtpClient(null).Send(message);
But users have not been receiving emails sent by the password recovery control. This had been working.
We have made a recent change with the mail server. I don't know the details.
I use ELMAH to log errors, and nothing is written to this log.
I was wondering if there something in the authentication tables that shows when a password has been reset in this manner.
I am unsure how to go about my task. I need to get the email property from asp.net's profile class.
I am loading a formview based on username stored in an sql table. I want to get the email address from the users profile based on the matching username fields
In pseudo code:
Get profile.emailaddress where username.text = profile.username
I don't want to reinvent the wheel with the password recovery control but I do want to customize the email message sent to the user. I have the following code but when I use this, I'm getting an error that states that the system is not configured to retrieve passwords.
I think this is due to the fact that out-of-the-box, the membership system is not configured retrieve password due to password encryption. Then how do I customize "ONLY" the email sent -- with the tem password -- without getting into complete customization of the password recovery control?

I have the following code. I simply want to select the security question and answer from the DB and do something if the result is true.
This is my code:-
[Code]....
This code always returns the result of "Invalid User Credentials", so this means it does not recognize the values from the DB. When i put something in that SHOULD match i still get the same. I dont get an error message but the logic here is to select security question and answer where the question is equal to the dropdown box and the answer is equal to the textbox. If there is a match then do something..
But this does not work..
You can see what i mean here:-
[URL]
If you select "What street did you grow up in?" from the dropdown and then put in "deeplish" in the security answer, the result should be "**EXISTS".
I have an ASP.Net 4.0 application that is using Forms Authentication and ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider. It authenticates against Active Directory running on Windows Server 2008 R2.I use ChangePassword control for changing passwords.When the user changes the password he can log on for some time with the old password. My client feels this is a security problem with the application. Is there any way to make sure the old password does not work after the user changes it?Also, if I do iisreset on the web server, the old password stops working. The password must be cached somewhere in the web app.
