aspnet identity invalid token on confirmation email

Question

I\'m trying to confirm an account but I\'m getting \"invalid token.\" error.

Here\'s what I\'m trying:

var code = await UserManager.GenerateEmailConf         


        

Answer 1

Most likely that the code in transit is modified by browser. Try doing UrlEncode on the token:

var code = await userManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(userId);
code = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(code);

Otherwise browser messes with the special symbols that can be present in the token.
