Remarks

The MembershipProvider.EnablePasswordRetrieval property contains a Boolean value specified in the configuration file (Web.config) using the enablePasswordRetrieval attribute. The value indicates whether users can use the MembershipProvider.GetPassword(string, string) method to retrieve their current password from the data source. This property is read-only.

If your custom membership provider supports hashed passwords, your MembershipProvider.GetPassword(string, string) method implementation should throw an exception if MembershipProvider.EnablePasswordRetrieval is set to true and the password format is set to Hashed. Hashed passwords cannot be retrieved.
