In Umbraco 7.6.x, when I try to use MemberService.SavePassword, I get the message "This provider does not support manually changing the password." I have not customized the provider in any way, and this works fine on 7.5.x.

I'm sure something has changed with the membership provider, but I don't know the new way to create Umbraco users using the API and assign them a password.

Note that these are NOT members, but Umbraco back-office users.

I am not following. The MemberService is for members, and the UserService is for managing users.

You are trying to change the password of a User with the MemberService?

I'm sorry, I stated it incorrectly.

I am using the UserService. Here is my code, with some parts removed for security:

            IUserService uSvc = appContext.Services.UserService;
            var allTypes = uSvc.GetAllUserTypes();
            IUserType adminType = allTypes.Where(t => t.Alias == "admin").FirstOrDefault();
            string[] allSections = { "content", "developer", "media", "member", "settings", "users" };

            aUser = uSvc.CreateUserWithIdentity("myUserId", "[email protected]", adminType);
            aUser.Name = "My user";
            uSvc.SavePassword(aUser, "some password");
            aUser.Language = "en-US";
            foreach (string aSection in allSections)
            {
                aUser.AddAllowedSection(aSection);
            }
            uSvc.Save(aUser);

Hey, I am having a similar issue with a newly installed Version of Umbraco version 7.6.3 assembly: 1.0.6361.21154. Although mine is with members.
```
//convert model to Member
        var newUser = Services.MemberService.CreateMember(model.Email, model.Email, model.Email, "User");
        newUser.SetValue("inGameName", model.Username);

        memberService.Save(newUser);
        memberService.SavePassword(newUser, model.Password);
```
I've tried saving the password before save the member or after and couldn't find any information about whats wrong

Hi,

There is a new setting in web.config in version 7.6.

Look for UmbracoMembershipProvider in web.config and allowManuallyChangingPassword should be set to true.
