emailing passwords using .NET

Hi,

is there a way to email users their forgotten passwords using ASP.NET?

That would depend upon your password storage mechanism.

Passwords should be hashed in your database which would mean you can't e-mail the original back to the user. You can however generate a new password and e-mail that to them using the SmtpMail class.

You should then have a bit field on their account stating they must then reset their password.
