I'm currently working on a Forgot Password and Reset Password on MVC. The program confirms the passwords are equal, if they are empty, if the user exists, etc. Yet, when the user enters a new password, via the link sent on their email, their input does not update in the database. I've tried many other programs, researched how to do it, but I can't seem to find what I am missing to save the changes on the SSMS database.
On my HomeController.cs is
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult ResetPassword()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult ResetPassword(UserLogin user)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid) {
var users = db.UserLogins.Where(a => a.ConfirmPassword.Equals(user.Password)).FirstOrDefault();
if (user != null)
{
//users.Password = user.ConfirmPassword;
//users.Password = user.Password;
//users.ConfirmPassword = "";
//db.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;
db.UserLogins.Remove(users);
var newPassword = user.Password;
newPassword = encryptPassword(users.Password);
//users.Password = user.Password;
//user.Password = users.ConfirmPassword;
//db.UserLogins.Add(user);
//encryptPassword(user.Password);
db.Configuration.ValidateOnSaveEnabled = false;
db.SaveChanges();
ViewBag.Message = "Password updated successfully, you may return to homepage";
RedirectToAction("Login");
}
else
{
ViewBag.Message = "Something went wrong";
}
}
return View();
}
When sent the ResetPassword.cshtml via email
@model ProductionDashboardApp.Models.UserLogin
@{
ViewBag.Title = "ResetPassword";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<body style="text-align:center">
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="login-page">
<div class="form">
<form class="login-form">
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Password, "Contraseña")
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.PasswordFor(model => model.Password)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Password)
</div><div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.ConfirmPassword, "Confirmar contraseña")
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.PasswordFor(model => model.ConfirmPassword)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ConfirmPassword)
</div>
<input type="submit" value="RESET" />
</form>
</div>
</div>
}
</body>
And my UserLogin.cs is
namespace ProductionDashboardApp.Models
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
public partial class UserLogin
{
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please, provide your Employee ID", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
public int UserID { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please, provide your first name", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please, provide your last name", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
public string LastName { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please, provide an username", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
public string Username { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please, provide a password", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string Password { get; set; }
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "Passwords do not match")]
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please, provide your email", AllowEmptyStrings = false)]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
public string Email { get; set; }
}
}
In your
Controllermethod, you need toUpdatethe entity:
