I have created a method so that when user requests for password reset, it sends an email to user. I want now to generate a url which opens ResetPassword.cshtml from web site to be opened. I am not able to hit website, because the web site page is asking for cookies which I do not have.
First generate an url for reset password page:
string code = await UserManager.GeneratePasswordResetTokenAsync(user.Id);
//For MVC controller
var callbackUrl = Url.Action("ResetPassword", "Account", new { code = code }, protocol: Request.Url.Scheme);
//For Web API controller
var callbackUrl = Url.Link("Default", new { Controller = "Account", Action = "ResetPassword", code = code });
After it create MVC controller with reset password method:
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult ResetPassword(string code)
{
return code == null ? View("Error") : View();
}
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> ResetPassword(ResetPasswordViewModel model)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
var user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync(model.Email);
if (user == null)
{
// Don't reveal that the user does not exist
}
var result = await UserManager.ResetPasswordAsync(user.Id, model.Code, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
//...
}
AddErrors(result);
return View();
}
Then create the model to accept new password:
public class ResetPasswordViewModel
{
[Required]
[EmailAddress]
[Display(Name = "Email")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Password")]
public string Password { get; set; }
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Confirm password")]
[Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "The password and confirmation password do not match.")]
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
public string Code { get; set; }
}
Finally create view for resetting password:
@model TreeTag.Models.ResetPasswordViewModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Reset password";
}
<h2></h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm("ResetPassword", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "form-horizontal", role = "form" }))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<h4>Reset your password.</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary("", new { @class = "text-danger" })
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Code)
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email, new { @class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Email, new { @class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Password, new { @class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.PasswordFor(m => m.Password, new { @class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div id="confirm_password" class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.ConfirmPassword, new { @class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.PasswordFor(m => m.ConfirmPassword, new { @class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Reset" />
</div>
</div>
}
