alfanumeric characters in password only
Hi,
we have customer with many users of Kentico and there is problem when they forget password and become new one, that it contains characters, hardly writable on keyboard. Is it possible to change password generation rules to alfanumeric characters only ?

Best regards,
P.Neuman

RE:alfanumeric characters in password only
Hello,

We are using the standard .Net password generator. However, this method is used in the source code, so without a source code license it isn't that easy to change this behavior. But you can modify the code of the logon web part. You can customize the btnPasswdRetrieval_Click method to generate a password just with alphanumerical characters and send manually an e-mail to the user, who tried to login. Please note that you have to reset and change the password for the user also in the database. For more information I would suggest you to check our Developer's guide and our API reference.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko
