Examples

The following code example shows how to set the NewPasswordRegularExpression property to define a regular expression that checks passwords to ensure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Are greater than six characters.

  • Contain at least one digit.

  • Contain at least one special (non-alphanumeric) character.

The password requirements contained in the PasswordHintText property are displayed to the user.

If the password entered by the user does not meet the requirements of the NewPasswordRegularExpression property, the text contained in the NewPasswordRegularExpressionErrorMessage property is displayed to the user. If a new password is not entered, the text contained in the NewPasswordRequiredErrorMessage property is displayed to the user.

Note

The new password must meet the minimum requirements set by the membership provider in the MinRequiredPasswordLength, MinRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters, and PasswordStrengthRegularExpression properties. If the password does not meet these requirements, the ChangePasswordError event is raised.

Remarks

In this topic:

Introduction

Use the ChangePassword control on a page to enable your Web site users to change the passwords they use to log on to your Web site.

Note

If you are not familiar with the set of login controls available in ASP.NET, read ASP.NET Login Controls Overview before continuing. For a list of other topics related to login controls and membership, see Managing Users by Using Membership.

Important

Transmitting passwords over HTTP is a potential security threat. HTTP transmissions can be viewed or compromised by malicious users. To improve security when using login controls, you should use HTTPS protocol with secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption to ensure that the user's password cannot be read during postback. For more information, see Securing Login Controls.

The ChangePassword control uses the membership provider defined in the MembershipProvider property to change the password stored in the membership provider data store for the Web site. If you do not assign a membership provider, the ChangePassword control uses the default membership provider defined in the membership section of the Web.config file. The ChangePassword control enables users to perform the following actions:

  • Change their password if they are logged on.

  • Change their password if they are not logged on, as long as the page that contains the ChangePassword control allows anonymous access and the DisplayUserName property is true.

  • Change the password for a user account, even if they are logged on as a different user. This requires the DisplayUserName property to be true.

Setting the DisplayUserName property to true displays the User Name text box, which allows the user to type in a user name. If the user is logged on, the UserName control is populated with the name of the logged-on user. After the password for the given user name is changed, the user is logged on to the account associated with the changed password, even if the user was not logged on to that account previously.

Important

Accepting user input is a potential security threat. Malicious users can send data that is intended to expose vulnerabilities or run programs that try generated passwords. To improve security when working with user input, you should use the validation features of your control and secure any data providers that are configured for your control. For more information, see Securing Login Controls, Basic Security Practices for Web Applications, and Securing Membership.

Sending Email Messages

The ChangePassword control can be configured to use email services to send the new password to the user. To send email messages to users from any of ASP.NET Web server controls, you must configure an email server in the Web.config file for your application. For more information, see How to: Install and Configure SMTP Virtual Servers in IIS 6.0.

Email messages are configured using the MailDefinition class. You must set the BodyFileName property to instruct ASP.NET to send email.

Important

Sending user account names or passwords in email is a potential security threat. Email messages are typically sent in plain text and can be read by special network "sniffing" applications. To improve security, use the mitigations that are described in Securing Login Controls.

Note

It is not possible to guarantee that a user will receive or view an email message. To verify that a user has received a message, provide a confirmation link in the email message that lets the user confirm that the notification was received.

Views

The ChangePassword control has two states, or views:

  • Change Password view Requests the current password, and requires the user to type the new password twice for confirmation. If you allow users who are not logged on to change their passwords, set the DisplayUserName property to true to display the UserName control in Change Password view. The UserName control allows the user to provide their registered user name. If there is an error when changing the password, an error message is displayed in the Change Password view, allowing the user to try again.

  • Success view Provides confirmation that the password has been changed.

    Important

    The functionality for changing passwords and for continue and cancel is attached to any button that has the correct command name, regardless of which view the button is placed on. For example, a button with the value commandname=changepassword in the Success view will attempt to change the password and result in an exception.

Styles and Templates

You can use an extensive set of style properties to customize the appearance of the ChangePassword control. Alternatively, you can apply custom templates to the two views if you need complete control over the appearance of the ChangePassword control. If you define a template for a view, the ControlStyle properties are applied. For a list of the controls that you must set in the view templates, see the ChangePasswordTemplate and SuccessTemplate properties. The ChangePassword control examines the content in the template and throws an exception if a required control is not found, is not named correctly, or is of the wrong type. For example, if you use the content in the template and set the DisplayUserName property to true, the ChangePassword will throw an exception if a TextBox or some other IEditableTextControl control is not found for the user name.

The following table lists the ChangePassword control style properties and describes which UI element they affect. For a list of the properties to which each style applies, see the individual style property.

ChangePassword style property UI element
CancelButtonStyle Cancel button on the Change Password view.
ChangePasswordButtonStyle Change Password button on the Change Password view.
ContinueButtonStyle Continue button on the Success view.
FailureTextStyle Error text displayed to the user.
HyperLinkStyle Hyperlinks to other pages.
InstructionTextStyle Instructional text on the page that describes how to use the ChangePassword control.
LabelStyle Labels for all input fields, such as text boxes.
PasswordHintStyle Hints for providing an acceptable password for the Web site.
SuccessTextStyle Text displayed to the user when the password has been successfully changed.
TextBoxStyle Text entry input fields.
TitleTextStyle Titles for the Change Password and Success views.

Applying CSS Styles

The ChangePassword control lets you specify CSS style rules in markup. If you use templates to customize the appearance of the ChangePassword control, you can specify CSS styles in the markup in the templates. In that case, no extra outer table is required. You can prevent the table from being rendered by setting the RenderOuterTable property to false.

Validation Groupings

The ChangePassword control uses a validation group so that other fields on the same page as the ChangePassword control can be validated separately. By default, the ID property of the ChangePassword control is used as the name of the validation group. For example, a ChangePassword control with the ID "ChangePassword1" will use a validation group name of ChangePassword1 as well. To set the validation group that the ChangePassword control is part of, you must create a template with the control, and then change the validation group name.

To show error messages if a user leaves a TextBox control empty, add a ValidationSummary control to the page. Set the ValidationGroup property of the ValidationSummary control to the ID property of the ChangePassword control.

Access Keys and Tab Indexes

For information about how to use the AccessKey property and the TabIndex property of a ChangePassword control, see Accessibility in Visual Studio and ASP.NET and ASP.NET Controls and Accessibility.

Accessibility

For information about how to configure this control so that it generates markup that conforms to accessibility standards, see Accessibility in Visual Studio and ASP.NET and ASP.NET Controls and Accessibility.

Accessing Controls During Page_Load and Page_Init

ChangePassword control properties represented by text boxes, such as UserName and CurrentPassword, are accessible during all phases of the page life cycle. In particular, during the Page_Init and Page_Load phases, these properties have the same value they had when the ChangePassword control was rendered. If the user changes the value of the UserName property by modifying the UserName text box, the new value will be available when the changed event is raised, which occurs after the Page_Load phase. Therefore, if you set the value of the UserName property in the Page_Init phase or Page_Load phase and provide a custom handler for a ChangePassword event, any change that the user makes in the UserName text box overrides the value set in the Page_Init or Page_Load phase.
