"I have not found any .net membership-related tutorials or project/templates that include a password reset feature that lets an anonymous user request a password reset (uniquely salted date stamped hopefully short hash) link to be sent to them by email. They would click the link in the email message, go to a password reset page that does not require them to be authenticated, or to remember the lost password, they reset the password on that page, and the emailed link is then expired. This seems to be pretty standard (think facebook) functionality but it's not in any asp.net membership app projects that I have seen in my travels."
