Detecting password reset?

[john_c]

Using asp.net Membership, is there a way to detect a password reset so
that next time the user logs in, you can send them to the password
change page?

Thanks.

Not sure I completely understand the goal here. There is a change Password
control you can use, if that will help. When you use it, your password gets
changed on the spot.

Yes, that is true but occurs after a password reset...at least in my
configuration. Here's what I do: The user forgets his password and
chooses to have it reset. This is a call to user.ResetPassword(). I
then email this temporary password to the user. They login with the
temp password. At that point, I want to show the PasswordChange
control. However, I need to know they requested the temp password.

I can manually setup fields in the database and code up the sprocs to
maintain this. I wondering though if asp.net already had some way to
tell you. Looking at the tables created by membership, it doesn't
appear to have that information stored anywhere.

You could put some unique identifier on the querystring of the link you email
to the user. When they click the link, you can capture this querystring item
and you would know.
