    To make single user protection work, change the UmbracoMembershipProvider in web.config.

    <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Another Type" passwordFormat="Clear" />

    enablePasswordRetrieval must be true

    enablePasswordReset must be true

    passwordFormat must be Clear

    Again I've come up against this issue.  I've done what you suggest Dennis but still no joy.  Anyone know how to get this working?

    I'm using 4.0.4.2 and have just had this problem, too. The solution Dennis posted doesn't work for me. I've also ensured the defaultMemberTypeAlias matches one in the Member Types section.
