    How to get Member password?

    Hello,

    I want to get member password. But when I got the password, it is not a real password when it contents some characters like "WWQRCSb3HLy/5+k2PmXAvr1Vj4s=" and this is not readable and different my real password.

    So how can use C# and Umbraco libraries to retrieve user password (real password)? Is there a function convert encoded password back to real password?

    It's not possible. password are encrypted using one way hash.

    Hi Nguyen,

    Yes, It's not possible if password was hashed, but you can set passwordFormat to = clear, and then new members passwords will not be hashed and you will be able to get it.

    <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider"
            type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider"
            enablePasswordRetrieval="true"
            enablePasswordReset="false"
            requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
            defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type"
            passwordFormat="clear" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

    Hope it will help you!

    Thanks,

    Alex

    But it's not recommended to change passwordFormat to clear, it's not best practice of security. But in some cases you need it.
