Hi,

I'm trying to add a "Forgot Password" feature to the Login form made by Authentication Builder in CCS for ASP.Net (VB.net) framework 2.0.

I will like when a person clicks on the link to go to a page with a box where they can enter their Email Address and if it exists in the database the password will be emailed to that Email address.

I'm using:
Table: users
Fields: user_id, username, password, email.

Any ideas or has someone donnit already?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

I have written this code many times in ASP. It goes something like this,

-create form with email text field

-create form handler that,

reads email text field
queries database for that email
if email exists in database
    send email with login info
    redirect to success page
else
    redirect to failed page
end if

There are things you could do to make this more secure but the concepts above work.
