Property Value

Type: System::Exception
An Exception that describes the reason for the password-validation failure.

The FailureInformation property is used when the current CreateUser, ChangePassword, or ResetPassword action has been canceled by setting the Cancel property to true.

The FailureInformation property is set to an exception that describes the reason for the password-validation failure. The calling method will throw the exception that the FailureInformation property is set to. If the FailureInformation property is nullptr, the caller will throw a generic password-validation failure exception.

The following code example shows a ValidatingPassword event that validates the format of the password for the user and cancels the action if the password does not match the required format.
