Asp.NET Identity 2 giving “Invalid Token” error

Question

I\'m using Asp.Net-Identity-2 and I\'m trying to verify email verification code using the below method. But I am getting an \"Invalid Token\"

Answer 1

Make sure that the token that you generate doesn't expire rapidly - I had changed it to 10 seconds for testing and it would always return the error.

    if (dataProtectionProvider != null) {
        manager.UserTokenProvider =
           new DataProtectorTokenProvider
              (dataProtectionProvider.Create("ConfirmationToken")) {
               TokenLifespan = TimeSpan.FromHours(3)
               //TokenLifespan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
           };
    }
