ASP.NET Identity reset password

Question

How can I get the password of a user in the new ASP.NET Identity system? Or how can I reset without knowing the current one (user forgot password)?

Answer 1

In current release

Assuming you have handled the verification of the request to reset the forgotten password, use following code as a sample code steps.

ApplicationDbContext =new ApplicationDbContext()
String userId = "";
String newPassword = "";
ApplicationUser cUser = UserManager.FindById(userId);
String hashedNewPassword = UserManager.PasswordHasher.HashPassword(newPassword);
UserStore store = new UserStore();            
store.SetPasswordHashAsync(cUser, hashedNewPassword);

In AspNet Nightly Build

The framework is updated to work with Token for handling requests like ForgetPassword. Once in release, simple code guidance is expected.

Update:

This update is just to provide more clear steps.

ApplicationDbContext context = new ApplicationDbContext();
UserStore store = new UserStore(context);
UserManager UserManager = new UserManager(store);
String userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();//"";
String newPassword = "test@123"; //"";
String hashedNewPassword = UserManager.PasswordHasher.HashPassword(newPassword);                    
ApplicationUser cUser = await store.FindByIdAsync(userId);
await store.SetPasswordHashAsync(cUser, hashedNewPassword);
await store.UpdateAsync(cUser);
