Hi, Following this example I have created a member register controller which sends out a verification email to the user. Once the use clicks on the verification link (http://dev.website.com/umbraco/surface/RegisterSurface/MemberValidation?email=email@gmail.com&guid=xxxx) the below action is called.

My problem is that I cant login the user as the password stored in the IMember is Row thus Members.Login() fails.

How should I bypass this?

 [HttpGet]
            [ActionName("MemberValidation")]
            public ActionResult MemberValidation(string email, string guid)
            {
                if (email == null || guid == null)
                {
                    Session["validateStatus"] = "error";
                    Session["validateMessage"] = "Error validating your email address";
                    return RedirectToUmbracoPage(Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//Home").Id);
                }

                var memberService = Services.MemberService;
                var member = memberService.GetByEmail(email);

                if (member.GetValue("validateguid").ToString().ToLower() == guid)
                {
                    member.IsApproved = true;
                    memberService.Save(member);

                    ***Where Im stuck***
                    if (Members.Login(member.Username, member.RawPasswordValue))  
                    {
                        Session["validateStatus"] = "success";
                        Session["member"] = member;
                        return RedirectToUmbracoPage(Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//AccountSettings").Id);
                    }
                }

                Session["validateStatus"] = "error";
                Session["validateMessage"] = "Sorry - we can't seem to validate your email address";
                return RedirectToUmbracoPage(Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//Home").Id);

            }
