    Forgotten hashed password usercontrol

    Hi,

    I'm wondering if anyone has made a 'forgotten password' usercontrol to work with hashed passwords in 4.5, and if they'd be willing to share it?

    If not, how are people getting around this?  It's obviously a piece of cake to write a member sign-up and log-in control, but it's no use without a means of dealing with forgotten passwords.

    Or are people just using plain passwords on member registration systems?

    Thanks all

    Doesn't the standard ASP.Net login control have a forgotten password feature?

    The point of a hashed password is that you shouldn't be able to read it back out, you can only reset it. Otherwise you'll need to use this method to do it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.membershipprovider.resetpassword.aspx I believe

    Thanks Slace,

    My issue was that I was using the 'password recovery' control, but didn't realise I needed to add 'enablePasswordReset="true"' to web.config.  Now if I can just get the damned shared SMTP server to actually send something I should be able to see if it works or not.
