Sitefinity: Password Recovery
As a developer, one of the things I hate most about my job is when people call me to fix their login errors, especially when the problem is a forgotten password:
Are you sure you remember your password? Yes.
Are you sure you typed the password correctly? YES!
Are you SURE? YES!!
Do you have CAPSLOCK on? ... ... oh [click]
While there's not much I can do to help them remember how their keyboard works, I can at least help maintain my sanity by enabling them to recover their passwords when they forget them.
My Sitefinity Password Recovery is available for download in my Software section. Simply unzip to your /Sitefinity folder, overwriting your login.aspx file (backup as always!).
What I like about this solution is that it first sends the user an email containing a reset link and confirmation code. This makes sure that the password is not reset by accident, and that only the user can reset the password.
As noted, these pages require that your web.config file is configured to send emails. See the Sitefinity Password Recovery page for more details, and as always, your comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
