 abstract property bool EnablePasswordRetrieval { bool get(); };
public abstract bool EnablePasswordRetrieval { get; }
member this.EnablePasswordRetrieval : bool
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property EnablePasswordRetrieval As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the membership provider is configured to support password retrieval; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Examples

For an example of a MembershipProvider implementation, see Implementing a Profile Provider.

Remarks

The EnablePasswordRetrieval property contains a Boolean value specified in the configuration file (Web.config) using the enablePasswordRetrieval attribute. The value indicates whether users can use the GetPassword method to retrieve their current password from the data source. This property is read-only.

If your custom membership provider supports hashed passwords, your GetPassword method implementation should throw an exception if EnablePasswordRetrieval is set to true and the password format is set to Hashed. Hashed passwords cannot be retrieved.
