looking for a 'change password' solution

[Danny]

Hello
I am looking for an asp change password solution. I know there are very
efficient ways of doing it and perhaps you have some samples or ideas.

Basically I would like the user to be able to change their password. Then a
link is mailed to their email address on file and when they click on the
link, they are taken to a place to type in a new password.

Thanks in advance

Danny

Generally this is done using 3 textboxes :
- one for the old password
- and two to enter the new password twice

The mail is rather used sometimes when someione lost his password. In some
cases a new one is generated and mailed back to the user. A link reminds
where they can change the autogenerated password if they prefer...

Re: looking for a 'change password' solution

Why would you do this via e-mail? Are you talking about a "I forgot my
password" thing, or just "I know my password, but I'd like to change it?"

Function Validate(Curren tPassword, NewPassword, NewPasswordConf irm)
Dim aCurrentPasswor d

'''first check current password is correct
aCurrentPasswor d = GetRecordset("S ELECT [Password] FROM [Users] WHERE
[UserID]=" & iUserID)
If IsEmpty(aCurren tPassword) Then
Validate = 99
Exit Function
Else
If aCurrentPasswor d(0,0) <> CurrentPassword Then Validate = 1 : Exit
Function
End If


'''Check that new passwords match
If NewPassword <> NewPasswordConf irm Then Validate = 11 : Exit Function

'''Check min len
If Len(NewPassword ) < 4 Then Validate = 2 : Exit Function
If Len(NewPassword ) > 50 Then Validate = 3 : Exit Function

'''If here, all is cool
OpenData()
oADO.Execute "UPDATE [Users] SET [Password]=" & TextIn(NewPassw ord,50)
CloseData()
Validate = 0
End Function
