I'm having the problem of my password fields being cleared when a postback occurs on a dropdownlist selection change.
Is it a security threat to fix it with this...
protected void Password_PreRender(object sender, EventArgse)
{
(TextBox)sender).Attributes["value"]
= ((TextBox)sender).Text;
}
Having spent considerable amount of time in ASP.NET security community I would like to share this.
There are three ways of resetting and changing passwords explained at
Microsoft ASP.NET site[URL]
Step 1: Helping Users Recover Lost Passwords
Step 2: Changing Passwords
Step 3: Allowing Administrators to Change Users' Passwords
In step 1 and step 2 end user passwords are sent by an email.
In Step 3: functionality is explained where administror changing the password and sending through email msg. refer "I encourage those readers interested in this functionality to become more familiar with the code and try extending the functionality to include sending an email to the user whose password was changed. Query
Is Sending passwords by emial secure enough or best security password at all? I have implemented functionality where Admin sending passwords to end users by changing once in 3 months. End users expressed their views that sending passwords by email is not secure. When there is security threat in sending passwords by email, Microsoft security experts should not emailing passwords in above mentioned article, which is still up to date.

I am using Forms Authentication in a new ASP.NET 3.5 Application.I have created the Tables in my database and run the Web Site Administration Too.When I try to create a user I get a password error no matter what I throw at it and I am becoming sure of that this is a symptom of an a setup error and not a password problem.One of the things that I notice is that my aspnet_Applications is empty and I am not sure what is supposed to fill it.I have tried to delete all the aspnet tables and done the procedure again but with the same result.

View 8 RepliesI had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .
I just begin creating a website for an organization. First page to be displayed in the login page. I dont have any knowledge in ASP.NET Security.

How do i validate that password that user has entered is his windows password?
I am developing a shopping cart with asp.net and sqlexpress. I am using aspnet authentication components to create a backend page. I designed the site to let in only authorized users in.
Yesterday, I forget my password to login to backend and asked system recover my password. with recover password of the asp.net I was able to receive the temp password. I took that and logged in, of course asp.net forward me to password change component which I am having problem with.
Every time I change my password , password change shows that I was successfull but after clicking on the continiue button password change component comes back. I went to properties of password change component and entered the main default page as destination but it is not helping.
I close the IE clear the cache , even restart the machine. When I login always taking me to the password change page.

I've implemented the Membership & Roles infrastructure of ASP.Net and it generally works well [in my ASP.Net 3.5 C# project].
However, testing is revealing something rather peculiar:
Start the web appDeliberately enter the wrong passwordTry again, this time with the correct password - fails to loginTry once again with the correct passwrod - login is successful Clearly this can't be the way it's supposed to work! I'm curious whether anyone else has observed this phenomenon, and if so, how did you fix it?

I am having a big problem trying to set the password for a login (MS SQL Server Management Studio).
I can create a new login and specify a password. Hitting "OK" reports no errors. Opening the newly created login shows that windows has automatically changed the original password to something else (I can tell because of the password length).
I have no idea why this is happening and have even tried reinstalling SQL.
