I'm trying to "auto-logon" Members with a special link. So that a link (in an email message) can be clicked and the user (of a certain Member type) is logged on to the Umbraco site (v6.2.1) and then get's direct access to/view of the contents on the protected page.
The special link contains the mail address of the Member and some other token data (all encrypted) but not the password. And I don't want to change the way the passwords are stored in the database (they're still hashed, so not 'readable'). With the mail address (and additional token data) I'm able to retrieve the correct Member, but how to log on that Member then?!
I found the following 2 related posts, but those posts don't provide me with any good, working solutions... I keep getting the logon screen (instead of the contents).
Auto logon for Members (Umbraco v6.2.1)
Hi!

Please help!
Thanks in advance guys!
Guess it's not possible (without password)... So changed [passwordFormat] from Hashed to Clear (for Members only!) and solved it that way.
(It's not that the protected member page contains nuclear missile launch codes... ;)is working on a reply...
