ResetPassword() to Alpha-numeric?

[WB]

Hi,

Is there any way to specify ResetPassword() of the MembershipUser class to
generate passwords of only alpha-numeric characters?


Thanks,

Hi,
The GeneratePassword method is used to generate a random password and is
most commonly used by the ResetPassword method implemented by a membership
provider to reset the password for a user to a new, temporary password.
// Generate a new 12-character password with 0 non-alphanumeric character.
string password = Membership.GeneratePassword(12, 0);

Hi Manish,

That doesn't work because the second parameter is for "minimum number of
punctuation characters".

So even if you put 0, it can still generate a password containing multiple
non-alphanumeric characters.

Any other ideas?


Thanks,
wb

I've read that the only way to accomplish this is to override the GeneratePassword method/write your own implementation. I hope that this helps.

Thanks...Chris
