    Umbraco 8 - Generate Password Reset Token (a .NET feature)

    Dear Community,

    I am working on a feature where if registered member forgets the password. he should be able to get a password reset link via email where the password can be changed.

    I have seen ASP.NET features where this can be easily done as below:

    string token = WebSecurity.GeneratePasswordResetToken(UserName);

    Where this code/token can be send in the link as qs parameter and when member clicks the link, options for setting new password can be provided.

    Finally with this code/token to reset a new password for that member/user as below:

    bool resetResponse = WebSecurity.ResetPassword(model.ReturnToken, model.Password);

    I was trying to search for such feature in our api be unable to located any. If I could get some help or guidance or any alternative to this feature provided would be great.

    Thank you in advance!

    Best Regards,

    Ranjit

    I added a couple of properties to the member and use those to store a token

    for the token I just generate a guid and strip the '-' I then store it against the members profile and send them an email, when they click the confirmation link, I check the created token and give them a form where they can set a new password.

            var token = GenerateUniqueCode();
        user.SetValue("confirmationToken", token);
        user.SetValue("tokenExpires", DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(48));
        memberService.Save(user);

    In the handler for the reset form, I do the following

            #region reset the Umbraco password
        //there was a password, so lets do the reset
        memberService.SavePassword(member, form["NewPassword"]);
        member.LastPasswordChangeDate = DateTime.UtcNow;

        //remove the token and expiry
        member.SetValue("confirmationToken", "");
        member.SetValue("tokenExpires", DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-30));
        Services.MemberService.Save(member);
        #endregion
