Question

I have a ‘login’ view and a ‘reset password’ view in my MVC project.

After a successful reset password action, I redirect back to the ‘login’ view.

I’d like the ‘login’ view to have a means of checking whether a successful password reset has just happened so it can display a confirmation/success message to the user. What’s the best mechanism for this?

I tried adding to the view bag and the view data from the reset view and have the login view see if there’s a value related to resetting in the bag or data, but the bag is reset after the redirect.

TempData also works; albeit not the prettiest solution.
It may be worthwhile to investigate the solution referenced by rism which I plan to do.

TempData.Add("ForgotPassword", true);
TempData.Add("UserEmail", model.Email);
