Programmatically reset all passwords in system and send reset URL's to users

Hi,

You can copy some logic from Kentico. Depending on how and what you want you could look into the default template:

docs.kentico.com/.../Forgottenpassword-Passwordrecoveryemailtemplates

Where you can use the macro: {% ResetPasswordURL %}

From code looking at the logon-form Web Part (find it at CMSWebParts/Membership/Logon/LogonForm.ascx.cs)

you could use a version of the following:

AuthenticationHelper.SendPasswordRequest(ui, siteName, "USERLOGON", SettingsKeyInfoProvider.GetValue(siteName + ".CMSSendPasswordEmailsFrom"),
"Membership.PasswordExpired", null, AuthenticationHelper.GetResetPasswordUrl(siteName), returnUrl);

Where UI is the UserInfo which you can get UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("YourUserName");

Hi Jason,

You can write a custom utility using Kentico API for all users.

Actions steps:

1. Gets all users list.

   var usersList = UserInfoProvider.GetUsers();

2. Loops through individual users

   foreach (UserInfo objUser in usersList)
   {    
      // Prepare return URL
       string returnUrl = RequestContext.CurrentURL;
       string userName = Login1.UserName;
       if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(userName))
       {
           returnUrl = URLHelper.AddParameterToUrl(returnUrl, "username", objUser.UserName);
       } 
   
           // Get Reset Password URL using GetResetPasswordUrl() and send password request             
           AuthenticationHelper.SendPasswordRequest(objUser, siteName, "USERLOGON", SettingsKeyInfoProvider.GetValue(siteName + ".CMSSendPasswordEmailsFrom"),
            "Membership.PasswordExpired", null, AuthenticationHelper.GetResetPasswordUrl(siteName), returnUrl);
   
   }
   

   Note: You need to do some work around through this logic for best practices like validate exist user check, event logging for number of successfully or fail request sent for reset password.

Thanks
