Question

I am trying to generate alphanumeric passwords and I did this in web.config:

enablePasswordRetrieval="false" 
         enablePasswordReset="true" 
         requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" 
         requiresUniqueEmail="false" 
         passwordFormat="Clear" 
         maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="10" 
         minRequiredPasswordLength="6" 
         minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" 
         passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$"/>

But still i get non-alpha numeric characters. please correct me if wrong.

The random password created by the ResetPassword method is not
guaranteed to pass the regular expression in the
PasswordStrengthRegularExpression property. However, the random
password will meet the criteria established by the
MinRequiredPasswordLength and MinRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters
properties
