User password defaulting to blank

the issue is that when you use
var user = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo(CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserID);
then the user's password defaults to blank (user["UserPassword]), so when you then update the user (either user.Update(); or UserInfoProvider.SetUserInfo(user);) then that sets the password to blank.
Interestingly if you then set the password in the back end then user["UserPassword"] will actually display the correct value.

So solution is to use
var user = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfoByGUID(CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserGUID);
as this (for whatever reason) actually loads in the correct password for the user.

Bit fucked up really... causing many hours of pain, and as they say, time is money.

RE:User password defaulting to blank

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

I tried following code:


CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfo myUser = CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo(67);
myUser.UserName = "LukeH2";
myUser.Update()

And the password remained untouched. I believe that this is because you are using "var" which is not a UserObject. What you need to use is UserInfo object. Can you try this?

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek
