Re: How do I retreive Password, Secret Question and its answer from the Memberhisp API?

the login control does that automatically - there is no LockUser method or similar - if you want to do that you have to manunally set the flag in the db.

Dominick,

This works fine Dim UserID as string =
Membership.GetUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName).ProviderUserKey.ToStrin
g
but I don't know why this

Dim clumsypwd As String =
Membership.GetUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName).GetPassword.ToString
doesn't work?

I am writing all this code under CreateUserWizard_UserCreated i.e
after user has been created. If this isn't possible I am wondering how
the "Forgot Password?" link on the LoginControl generates the password
for the user so that he can change it to a meaningful password?

For now I got it working like this

Dim PassWord As String = CreateUserWizard1.Password
Dim clumsypwd As String = Membership.GeneratePassword(8,
8)
Membership.GetUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName).ChangePassword(PassWord
, clumsypwd)

and this kind of solves what I am looking for. Could you help me how
do I lock the user after certain login trails?

Thanks -L
