I am using the Membership.Provider for security in my MVC Application. I have a forgot password page that asks for your username, and then gives you the secret question on file. My question is how to a check the secret answer against what is on file. I can’t seem to find any method that does that besides 

Membership.Provider.ResetPassword(userName, secretAnswer)

which basically approves anything I type in.

    There’s a setting in the web.config you have to set to tell the Membership Provider to use the secret question.

    It’s requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" where you set up the membership provider.

    Edit:
    In your comment requiresQuestionAndAnswer is set to “false” – it should be “true”
