    How come I can do member.RawPasswordValue and get a plain text password?

    I'm creating members in a SurfaceController like this:

    private readonly Umbraco.Core.Services.IMemberService _memberService;

// .....

public IMember CreateMember(Models.Member member)
{
    return _memberService.CreateWithIdentity(member.Username, member.EmailAddress, member.Password, "member");
}

    Having created members like this, the following code:

    IMember member = _memberService.FindByEmail(email, 0, 1, out totalRecords).Single();

return member.RawPasswordValue

    And get a plaintext password out of Umbraco!

    I think there could be a couple of things going on here.

    • Umbraco expects me to hash the password before creating the member. In this case, how can I use the same API to hash passwords that the backoffice is using, so that members created from the backoffice and my endpoint will be using the same hashing function?

    • Umbraco isn't hashing the passwords because I'm running locally in debug mode?

    Thanks in advance 👍

    Hi Gary,

    If you look at the documentation for the CreateWithIdentity method you'll see that it expects you to pass it the already encrypted/hashed password: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/db414e8045d0a455dae568a4f67675eab6c3ccef/src/Umbraco.Core/Services/MemberService.cs#L850

    Have a look at this article: http://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2015/membership-apis-investigation/

    It seems that when using the MemberService you need to set the password after the member has been persisted:

    newMember = service.CreateWithIdentity("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Mike Bowen", "MyMemberType");
service.Save(newMember);
service.SavePassword(newMember, "24DaysInUmbraco");

    Another option would be to use MembershipHelper.RegisterMember (see the article above for details).

    Hope this helps.

    Steven

    To set the password use MemberService.SavePassword after creating the member.
