    Password history of Umbraco Users NOT members

    I am trying to work out how to configure the change password process for Umbraco users. I have a requirement for any new passwords for back end user accounts must be unique and can't be recycled.

    How to I "break into" this change password process. I can see how you do it with the login process by inheriting from "umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider". How to you do this with Change Password?

    Also I'll need to salt and hash the prospective password with the same salt as the umbraco process. I have found a method for this:

    HashPasswordForStorage in membership provider base. How do I use this? Does MembershipProvider inherit this class?

    Any help gratefully received?

    Head scratching moment:

    So I've created a class that inherits from 

    public class CustomUsersMembershipProvider : UsersMembershipProvider

    Then overridden the 

    protected override bool PerformChangePassword(string username, string oldPassword, string newPassword)

    and updated the web.config to find the new provider...

            <add name="UsersMembershipProvider"     
         type="Whizbang.Membership.CustomUsersMembershipProvider, Whizbang"

    and set a breakpoint...and nothing. VS doesn't hit it.

    Am I missing something to override the change password function.

    I answerd in https://our.umbraco.com/forum/extending-umbraco-and-using-the-api/92429-password-history#comment-318353 how i did it for members honestly cant remember if users is different did you set your default provider in the web.config to the one you made?

    Also i think maybe ChangePassword which is public is what your looking to override not PerformChangePassword

    It seems all the old Membership provider stuff floating around Stack and this forum is out of date.

    Umbraco > 7.something is using the .net Identity membership system so any custom providers are ignored.

    Would have saved myself a bunch of time.

    Thanks Perry

    For users? i kind of remember something about them on 2 different systems. the method i mention and you tried definitely works for Members in all versions of 7.x i used.

    But i cant help with users sorry, if you figure it out let us know! :)
