Remarks
If Membership.EnablePasswordRetrieval is false, the underlying membership provider may throw a System.Web.HttpException.
The providers that are included with the .NET Framework support multiple password formats to enhance password security. If the password format is set to MembershipPasswordFormat.Hashed, then users will not be able to retrieve their existing password from the database. The MembershipPasswordFormat.Hashed password format provides one-way encoding of password values. Passwords are "hashed" and compared to values stored in the database for authentication. "Hashed" values cannot be un-encoded to retrieve the original password value. For more information, see System.Web.Security.MembershipPasswordFormat.
