I think Microsoft guide for ASP.NET Identity is a good start.

**Note:**
If you do not use AccountController and wan't to reset your password, use `Request.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();`. If you dont have the same OwinContext you need to create a new `DataProtectorTokenProvider` like the one `OwinContext` uses. By default look at `App_Start -> IdentityConfig.cs`. Should look something like `new DataProtectorTokenProvider<ApplicationUser>(dataProtectionProvider.Create("ASP.NET Identity"));`.
Could be created like this:
Without Owin:
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("testReset")]
public IHttpActionResult TestReset()
{
var db = new ApplicationDbContext();
var manager = new ApplicationUserManager(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(db));
var provider = new DpapiDataProtectionProvider("SampleAppName");
manager.UserTokenProvider = new DataProtectorTokenProvider<ApplicationUser>(
provider.Create("SampleTokenName"));
var email = "
[email protected]";
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = email, Email = email };
var identityUser = manager.FindByEmail(email);
if (identityUser == null)
{
manager.Create(user);
identityUser = manager.FindByEmail(email);
}
var token = manager.GeneratePasswordResetToken(identityUser.Id);
return Ok(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(token));
}
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("testReset")]
public IHttpActionResult TestReset(string token)
{
var db = new ApplicationDbContext();
var manager = new ApplicationUserManager(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(db));
var provider = new DpapiDataProtectionProvider("SampleAppName");
manager.UserTokenProvider = new DataProtectorTokenProvider<ApplicationUser>(
provider.Create("SampleTokenName"));
var email = "
[email protected]";
var identityUser = manager.FindByEmail(email);
var valid = Task.Run(() => manager.UserTokenProvider.ValidateAsync("ResetPassword", token, manager, identityUser)).Result;
var result = manager.ResetPassword(identityUser.Id, token, "TestingTest1!");
return Ok(result);
}
With Owin:
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("testResetWithOwin")]
public IHttpActionResult TestResetWithOwin()
{
var manager = Request.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();
var email = "
[email protected]";
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = email, Email = email };
var identityUser = manager.FindByEmail(email);
if (identityUser == null)
{
manager.Create(user);
identityUser = manager.FindByEmail(email);
}
var token = manager.GeneratePasswordResetToken(identityUser.Id);
return Ok(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(token));
}
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("testResetWithOwin")]
public IHttpActionResult TestResetWithOwin(string token)
{
var manager = Request.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();
var email = "
[email protected]";
var identityUser = manager.FindByEmail(email);
var valid = Task.Run(() => manager.UserTokenProvider.ValidateAsync("ResetPassword", token, manager, identityUser)).Result;
var result = manager.ResetPassword(identityUser.Id, token, "TestingTest1!");
return Ok(result);
}
The `DpapiDataProtectionProvider` and `DataProtectorTokenProvider` needs to be created with the same name for a password reset to work. Using Owin for creating the password reset token and then creating a new `DpapiDataProtectionProvider` with another name won't work.
Code that I use for ASP.NET Identity:
Web.Config:
<add key="AllowedHosts" value="example.com,example2.com" />
AccountController.cs:
[Route("RequestResetPasswordToken/{email}/")]
[HttpGet]
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetResetPasswordToken([FromUri]string email)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
return BadRequest(ModelState);
var user = await UserManager.FindByEmailAsync(email);
if (user == null)
{
Logger.Warn("Password reset token requested for non existing email");
// Don't reveal that the user does not exist
return NoContent();
}
//Prevent Host Header Attack -> Password Reset Poisoning.
//If the IIS has a binding to accept connections on 80/443 the host parameter can be changed.
//See

if (!ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AllowedHosts"].Split(',').Contains(Request.RequestUri.Host)) {
Logger.Warn($"Non allowed host detected for password reset {Request.RequestUri.Scheme}://{Request.Headers.Host}");
return BadRequest();
}
Logger.Info("Creating password reset token for user id {0}", user.Id);
var host = $"{Request.RequestUri.Scheme}://{Request.Headers.Host}";
var token = await UserManager.GeneratePasswordResetTokenAsync(user.Id);
var callbackUrl = $"{host}/resetPassword/{HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(user.Email)}/{HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(token)}";
var subject = "Client - Password reset.";
var body = "<html><body>" +
"<h2>Password reset</h2>" +
$"<p>Hi {user.FullName}, <a href=\"{callbackUrl}\"> please click this link to reset your password </a></p>" +
"</body></html>";
var message = new IdentityMessage
{
Body = body,
Destination = user.Email,
Subject = subject
};
await UserManager.EmailService.SendAsync(message);
return NoContent();
}
[HttpPost]
[Route("ResetPassword/")]
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> ResetPasswordAsync(ResetPasswordRequestModel model)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
return NoContent();
var user = await UserManager.FindByEmailAsync(model.Email);
if (user == null)
{
Logger.Warn("Reset password request for non existing email");
return NoContent();
}
if (!await UserManager.UserTokenProvider.ValidateAsync("ResetPassword", model.Token, UserManager, user))
{
Logger.Warn("Reset password requested with wrong token");
return NoContent();
}
var result = await UserManager.ResetPasswordAsync(user.Id, model.Token, model.NewPassword);
if (result.Succeeded)
{

await UserManager.EmailService.SendAsync(message);

return NoContent();
