if someone gained accees to the machinekey, download your web.config and get access to your web site, he might easily retrieve ALL passwords. The only secure solution would be resetting ALL relevant passwords, if your site has been compromised (I wouldn't do it, if you don't have at least any hints for it in your IIS site log.

@Chris,

I think your best approach to moving users would be to try one of the user import/export modules that you can find on snowcovered or elsewhere.

This way your not risking screwing up your DNN installation.

Regards,
Dave.

Dave so will most of those work with a different machine key and keep the passwords in place?  Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,

I would imagine so.  I've not used any of the ones on snowcovered, because I have my own module to do it.  And that works fine between installations.  I would think the modules on snowcovered work in much the same way.  But I guess the best people to ask are the ones that have created the module.

Regards,
Dave.
