Membership.EnablePasswordRetrieval Property

Definition

Gets a value indicating whether the current membership provider is configured to allow users to retrieve their passwords.

public:
 static property bool EnablePasswordRetrieval { bool get(); };
public static bool EnablePasswordRetrieval { get; }
static member EnablePasswordRetrieval : bool
Public Shared ReadOnly Property EnablePasswordRetrieval As Boolean

Property Value

true if the membership provider supports password retrieval; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example shows the membership element in the system.web section of the Web.config file for an ASP.NET application. It specifies that the application use an instance of the SqlMembershipProvider and enables password retrieval.

<membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="20">  
  <providers>  
    <add name="SqlProvider"  
      type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"  
      connectionStringName="SqlServices"  
      enablePasswordRetrieval="true"  
      enablePasswordReset="false"  
      requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"  
      passwordFormat="Encrypted"  
      applicationName="MyApplication" />  
  </providers>  
</membership>  

The following code example first verifies that EnablePasswordRetrieval is true, then retrieves the password for a specified user name and sends it to the email address for the specified user.

Important

Returning a password in clear text using email is not recommended for sites that require a high level of security. For high-security sites, we recommend that you return passwords using encryption, such as SSL.

This example includes a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

If EnablePasswordRetrieval is false, the underlying membership provider may throw a HttpException.

The providers that are included with the .NET Framework support multiple password formats to enhance password security. If the password format is set to Hashed, then users will not be able to retrieve their existing password from the database. The Hashed password format provides one-way encoding of password values. Passwords are "hashed" and compared to values stored in the database for authentication. "Hashed" values cannot be un-encoded to retrieve the original password value. For more information, see MembershipPasswordFormat.
