I'm making a website with MVC5 ASP.NET. I'm using Identity framework 2.0 implement class with properties such as passwordhash, username, email, emailconfirmed and so on. I'm using userManager.ChangePassword(user.Id, Oldpassword, Newpassword);, but i can't figure out how i should get a password from a user as plain text (string)
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ChangePassword(AspNetUsersViewModel userView)
{
UserManager<IdentityUser> userManager = new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>());
var result = userManager.ChangePassword(_User.Id, "123456789", userView.Password);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "ConfigUser");
}
As now I'm i have hardcoded users current password "123456789" to test if it works, and it does. I hope you guys can help.
Add password input to the View inside the form tag
<input type="password" id= "userNewPassword" name="userNewPassword">
Pass the userNewPasswor as string to the controller after the userView and the pass it to the UserManager
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ChangePassword(
AspNetUsersViewModel userView,
string userNewPassword){
UserManager<IdentityUser> userManager = new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>());
var result = userManager.ChangePassword(_User.Id, userNewPassword , userView.Password);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "ConfigUser");
}
Note: the Best way is to Modify the userView and add the userNewPassword to the model
Update:
in the visual studio 2013 the if you used the asp.net default template you will find the flowing class
public class ChangePasswordBindingModel
{
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Current password")]
public string OldPassword { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "New password")]
public string NewPassword { get; set; }
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Confirm new password")]
[Compare("NewPassword", ErrorMessage = "The new password and confirmation password do not match.")]
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
}
