Hi,

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


Thanks,
wb

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);

Hope this answers your question.
Thanks and Regards.

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
