Question

Could anyone show me some code about the forget password sample? I have no idea about that. For my login and remember me, I used Membership provider of asp.net MVC.

Answer 1

Regardless to membership provider, here is a small example of change password:

• Create action that requests user’s email
• Generate new password but not change it in database
• Generate encrypted token that contains about user id and generated password
• Create action that accepts token, decrypt it and reset password for user
• Make url to action that accepts token as parameter, resets password and redirects to login page
• Generate email message with url to action that resets password
