Reset Password - password strength

Hi all,

i am resetting the password of users using the sitefinity api. i cannot get it to use the "PasswordStrengthRegularExpression" to generate the password. 

 here is my code:

var userManager = new UserManager("Default");
var sitefinityUser = userManager.GetUser(sitefinityUserId);
string password = sitefinityUser.ResetPassword();
userManager.SaveChanges();

in the web.config

<add name="Default" type="Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Data.SitefinityMembershipProvider, Telerik.Sitefinity" enablePasswordReset="true" PasswordStrengthRegularExpression="^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$" MinRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters="0" />

i can't seem to get it working.

any help is much appriciated.

Thanks,

Tony.

Hello Dave,

The correct way to set a regular expression for your user's passwords is under Administration->Settings->Advanced->Security->MembershipProviders->YourProvider->Parameters->passwordStrengthRegularExpression. This expression is saved in your SecurityConfig file, not the web.config one:
