    Hello,

     When I click the submit button on the identity confirmation screen of the password recovery control it runs this exception:

    The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.

    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Exception Details: System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.

    Source Error:

    An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

     What is wrong? I am entering the correct password and username. I checked the passy in the web.config file it was correct.

     Sincerely,

    Malachi

    If you are entering a username and password then that is what is wrong.

    The password recovery control is for use when you do not know your password.

     

    You should be entering your email address instead.

    I got the answer. When in the password recovery control MailDefinition property be sure to set the 'From' to an 'e-mail address' not plain text. Thanks for everyones inquires to help. God Bless.
