RE: Can't login or reset password for Plus!
I aggree, a secret question is a good idea. I'll log a new product backlog item in Team Foundation when I return to the office in Januaray. I can't promise when and if it will be implemented, because that up to the product owners.

Here is how I think it should work, we ask each users already register to pick a question and give the answer upon the next login after the update.The registration form need to be modify so that the new user are required to pick a question and set the answer. When a user click on the forgot password link the question is ask, if the user give the right answer he/she is allow to enter a new password.

Sill for users like joltCoder that forgot their password before the Q&A is in place nothing can be done.
Code is beautiful.

sounds ok... But why wait after the update? This can be done now too, no (after it has been approved of course)?

Also, maybe the possebility to make your own question?

I created the  product backlog item No. 5552: Secret question for password recovery.

@Cookie: The system need to be modify in order to store the question and the answer associate to each user account in the database so that why it can't be done before the update. I added the ability for the user to create there own question in the PBI acceptance criteria.
