<asp:PasswordRecovery -- remove security question

[David R.]

Is there a way to remove the security question step from the Password
Recovery control?

i.e. I just want the user to enter the username and have the password
emailed to him immediately. No need for the security question.

Just use the requiresQuestionAndAnswer property and set it to false

Here's a good website that explain everything about this control:

Actually, this is a property in the Membership class.

What you should do is not set the security question in the first place. By
requiring it when a login is first created will force you to always use it.

Christopher is right, here is what you need in your web.config:

<system.web>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SqlServices"
connectionString="AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;Integrated
Security=SSPI;Initial
Catalog=aspnetdb;" />
</connectionStrings>

<membership>
<providers>
<add connectionStringName="SqlServices"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
passwordFormat="Hashed"
applicationName="Cardfile"
requiresUniqueEmail="false"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
passwordAttemptWindow="10"
name="SqlProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />
</providers>
</membership>
</system.web>
