Is it possible to send the existing password from a user in stead of a new password ?
For example : Membership.GetUser("USERNAME").password
I 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 have a web page, where the administrator can reset other users password.I am not using any membership controls here.I found that i can use Membership.Provider.ResetPassword() function.But i want to send the new password to the user through the mail, just like in password recovery control, reusing the mail configuration in the web.config file(which membership use with the password recovery control).Do i need to explicitly do the coding for sending the mail, using SMTP client, and mail message class?or is there any builtin functionality inside membership for this just like in password recovery?

I can email the password in my local machine by using the forgot password wizard, but after I have uploaded all the files in Go Daddy, it does not work. That means, I am wrong somewhere at above mentioned code.
I need to send a password from a windows application to the web (asp.net) in order to automatically login the user on the web (e.g.: opening hotmail from windows live messenger).
I thought about hash code, but the problem is: the value will be stored on user browser history (querystring).
how to pass a one-time valid key (a key that is valid for only one use) using querystring?

View 6 RepliesI have a "Contact Us" page where in users will give in their email id and a query and on submitting the form, web admin would receive that email.
If I configure their email id to "from" MailAddress and send the mail, it will fail to do so if the ID is from popular mail domains like gmail or hotmail but would work with other unpopular or non existent domains like me@abcxyzmail.om without any credentials provided!
It worked with gmail after I configured SMTP and network credentials properly. The aim is to let the admin of my website who receives the email be able to hit the reply button in his mail client and see the "to" field populated with the "from" field filled in "contact us" page. Is there any proper way to do this or a tip or trick to accomplish it.
