PasswordRecovery Control Example

Example Summary and Logic

The PasswordRecovery control follows a pattern similar what is used for ChangePassword. Both controls let you use templates to eliminate some, but not all, of the <table> tags that the control creates by default. An adapter can make the control more CSS friendly, regardless of whether or not you use templates.

All of the sample adapters for the Membership controls produce markup that is easier to style with CSS while retaining most of the control's original server-side logic.


Working Example

Step 1
Whose password are you recovering?
 

Hints:

Use the following values when filling out the password recovery form.

  • Step 1: User Name = fred
  • Step 2: Security Question Answer = Flintstone
