I'm using ASP.NET Identity, and I have the basic Forgot Password/Reset Password functionality in place.
When you fill out the form that you forgot your password, it creates a reset token using _userManager.GeneratePasswordResetTokenAsync(user)
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> ForgotPassword(ForgotPasswordViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(model.Email);
if (user == null || !(await _userManager.IsEmailConfirmedAsync(user)))
{
return View("ForgotPasswordConfirmation");
}
var code = await _userManager.GeneratePasswordResetTokenAsync(user);
var callbackUrl = Url.Action("ResetPassword", "Account", new { userId = user.Id, code = code }, protocol: HttpContext.Request.Scheme);
await _emailSender.SendEmailAsync(model.Email, "Reset Password",
$"Please reset your password by clicking here: <a href='{callbackUrl}'>link</a>");
return View("ForgotPasswordConfirmation");
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
I noticed that the only validation the Reset Password page has is to check if the code is null, rather than also checking to see if it's still valid or not expired.
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
public IActionResult ResetPassword(string code = null)
{
if (code == null)
{
throw new Exception("A code must be supplied for password reset.");
}
var model = new ResetPasswordViewModel { Code = code };
return View(model);
}
It doesn't actually check to see if the token is valid until you attempt to reset your password and it calls _userManager.ResetPasswordAsync(user, model.Code, model.Password)
I'd like to be able to validate that the code is still valid when they hit the Reset Password page to display a message to the user, and not after they attempt to reset their password.
Is there a way to check if it's valid?
