Hi Waji,

Could you send the code that you use to get the password and what is the passwordFormat you use? If you use hashed password format you cannot get the users' password unless you have encryption and decryption algorithms which of course are private in our provider due to security reasons.

Hello
Thanks for reply.

MembershipUser userObj=Membership.GetUser(LoginName);
Password = userObj.GetPassword();

<machineKey validationKey="1E7B21306A7B8D73CBB2507C9632552CD34BA90AF540C8637DE25561660C28A7E6D79C83E53862D0CABF95FFBBDB09F458CA466C8884298D93C5D05441D1D021" decryptionKey="D28ECC8FDE1C50DC6E318BB55D7DFBC82CA6D1E76724FC118CA05CCC8DC6D044" validation="SHA1" decryption="AES"/>

<add name="Sitefinity" connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" type="Telerik.DataAccess.AspnetProviders.TelerikMembershipProvider, Telerik.DataAccess" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Encrypted" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="" minRequiredPasswordLength="1" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>

Please my code and web.config settings

Thanks

Hi Waji,

I am not able to replicate this issue using the latest version of Sitefinity 4 - SP1. I even used your machine key.
Note that you should update the SecurityConfig.config file and the default membership provider.

<membershipProviders>
        <add passwordFormat="Encrypted" enablePasswordRetrieval="true" name="Default" />
    </membershipProviders>

Here is the code I used

var userObj = Membership.GetUser("admin@2");
var password = userObj.GetPassword();

Kind regards,
