A security question for password resets mitigates this, but does not really satisfy me. 2) Alice's new password is sent back to her in cleartext. I w...

For example, the user's "my account" page. They simply need to be able to view and edit the data. Would you use the Entity Frameworks EntityDataSource control? And bin...
I assume that web controls (such as the PasswordRecovery control) use SmtpClient to send email messages. If so, does SmtpClient represent a POP3 client or does SmtpClient forward email message to POP3 client?
