Apart from fiddling with my 3D printer, I have been writing some other Forum code
This time it is a plugin for Umbraco. It is written in .Net Core which is the latest Microsoft .Net incarnation. It is a very different beast entirely to the older .Net frameworks so lots of learning new stuff and hair pulling along the way
It is still a WIP but should be releasing it soon, something else new, I have had to learn how to create NuGet packages.
It is the latest version of Microsoft .Net, so I am upgrading the forum code. It is much better than this version of .Net

I checked the logs on the server and it wasn't the password that was the issue, it was complaing that the token was not valid. From what I can see, this is because the passwrd was successfully reset and the token was then re-used to set it to potentillaSOM46#! which failed because the token will have expired when the first rest succeeded.
Did you re-use the same link, or did you do another forgot password request?Originally posted by HuwR
I think I opened the link from the mail every time, but I could have re-use the same link. Many windows opened, and maybe i choose the wrong one. I'm not sure what I did. Thanks for explaining. I understand a lot more now.

yes, so you couldn't use ABCDABCDABCD for example as that is only 4 different characters

Maybe the problem for me is this one:

I'm not sure if I understand what UniqueChars means. Is it the same as NonAlphanumeric? Or does it mean that I need 5 different characters?Originally posted by Torborg
I took it to mean at least 5 non-repeating characters, but I think that password looks ok for that..

I have fixed some issues, could you please retry, using beow steps.
1. Try to login, you should be redirected to the forgot password page. 2. Enter your username and submit the forgot password form 3. Click the link in the email 4. Enter a new password 5. Sign in
Password should conform to the following rules "Password": { "RequiredLength": 12, "RequireDigit": true, "RequiredUniqueChars": 5, "RequireLowercase": true, "RequireNonAlphanumeric": true, "RequireUppercase": true }Originally posted by HuwR
It must have been the password. I only managed to get in when I used a password generator. But I want a password that I can remember. I tested several, and don't understand why they don't work. This for instance, doesn't work: potentillaSOM46#!

I've been keeping an eye on this topic because I've had similar problems to Tor, either the problems have been intermittent or maybe I haven't been consistent, probably the latter though.
I have a working account now, 'Doughnut2'. I tried to bring 'Doughnut' back to life but when I do the forgot password thingy it says that a link has been sent, but I don't get a link...I'm wondering of it's going to an email address that I don't use anymore. Can you tell/see what email address my Doughnut account uses at all?

Site code updated, you should now receive an email.
You need to attempt to login first, it will create the new identity user and redirect you to the forgot password page, enter your username and you should now get an email to reset your password.
We now have a WYSIWYG editor

I believe I have worked out the problem, there is an issue in the migration code for Members and it is only creating the new .NET Identity record if you use a valid password, it then fails to find you when you use the forgot password because it didn't create the Identity record
However this has highlighted another issue if you have multiple accounts that use the same email address the forgot password process won't know which Member to update, it will also require a username so will need to sort that out too, hopefully I will update the site later today, I will post here if I do so.

I think the issue maybe that there are two users with the same email address, so it may be getting confused. May need to change it so you provide a username and email address. I will test that emails are being sent especially to gmail as google can be a real pita when it comes to receiving from other mail servers.

One of my routine scans showed a build up in the bottom of my right lung which they were concerned about, a biopsy came back as negative, so not Cancer coming back, so was put on several courses of strong antiobiotics which they are happy has cleared it up. Wasn't feeling unwell, just takes a long time with not knowing exactly whats up, but all good in the end

Spain sounds nice. We have a lot of snow now and it's really cold, getting under -20 the next days . As long as it is warm inside, that's OK. We have to use the wood stove to keep up and we carry a lot of wood inside every day. I like the long dark evenings and the warmth from the stove though.
Why did you need antibiotics and tests? Are you not well?
I'm back in full job now. It’s OK, but a bit tough after over a year in full or partly sick leave. Can't celebrate yet, but I'm optimistic and feel fine .
In the board for the organization where I work, we have a young guy, Bernhard, who is very enthusiastic about the forum. I'm having a meeting with him tomorrow. I hope he can help us move forward with "Spør en biolog"
