    Umbraco Backoffice - Forgotten Password not working

    Hi,

    I am not sure why Forgotten Password is working on my local dev machine but not on the Azure server. Both dev and Azure uses the same Web.config.

    Is there anyway to get more detailed error message? I tried checking Chrome console screen and the event log. Both do not give any helpful information to debug this problem.

    hi,

    Quick guess but SMTP server? Have you got something setup on Azure?

    I did a health check on SMTP settings under Developer > Health Check options. Umbraco thinks it is correctly configured. Is there anyway get Umbraco to provide the cause of the error; more than just "Request password reset failed for email ... "? Can Umbraco provide more like C# exception error messages?

    Hi,

    Usually those kinds of errors are logged - have you checked in /App_data/Logs/UmbracoTraceLog.txt (ensure debug is set to true in the web.config).

    Hi, I finally tried that. I didn't get any error in UmbracoTraceLog.txt when the password reset was failed. Is there anything else I can do to debug the issue?

    Just for anyone finding this, the solution for me was to add the 'from' attribute to the <smtp> element in web.config:

    <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="Network" from="[email protected]">
        <network defaultCredentials="false" host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" enableSsl="true" password="12345678" userName="[email protected]" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
 </system.net>

    Hope it helps

    Yes I also had to specify from attribute to get Forgot Password working.

    <smtp from="[email protected]">
  <network host="smtp.office365.com" password="abcdefghijk" port="587" userName="[email protected]" clientDomain="mycompany.com" enableSsl="true" />
</smtp>

    Had the same issue today. For older versions of Umbraco you need the from attribute in smtp. In newer versions of Umbraco it will have a fallback to email in the umbracosettings.config.
