Property Value

The date and time when the membership user's password was last updated.

The SqlMembershipProvider sets the CreationDate, LastLoginDate, LastActivityDate, and LastPasswordChangedDate date to the same date and time when a membership user is created by the CreateUser method.

The following code example shows a login page that indicates a password has expired after a specified number of days. If the LastPasswordChangedDate is earlier than the current date and time minus the number of days specified for the expiration of a password, then the user is directed to change his or her password.

Security noteSecurity Note:

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview (Visual Studio).
