UserManager VerifyUserTokenAsync Always False

I am generating usertoken for example

public async Task GenerateCode()
{

    var code = await UserManager.GenerateUserTokenAsync("heymega", new Guid("16139fcd-7ae0-449c-ad1c-f568bbe46744"));


}

Then I pass the same token to another activity via a separate request

public async Task ValidateCode(string code)
{

    var valid = await UserManager.VerifyUserTokenAsync(new Guid("16139fcd-7ae0-449c-ad1c-f568bbe46744"), "heymega", code); //Returns False

}

However, the answer from the method is VerifyUserTokenAsync

always wrong.

If I had to generate the code and check within the same action

public async Task GenerateCode()
{

    var code = await UserManager.GenerateUserTokenAsync("heymega", new Guid("16139fcd-7ae0-449c-ad1c-f568bbe46744"));

    var valid = await UserManager.VerifyUserTokenAsync(new Guid("16139fcd-7ae0-449c-ad1c-f568bbe46744"), "heymega", code); //Returns True

}

It returns true.

Why can't the Verify method validate the code in a separate request? Am I missing something?

I finally figured it out by pulling my hair out for hours. You need to url encode and I decided to use the HttpUtility class for that.

HttpUtility.UrlEncode(code);


When it comes to code validation, you don't need the url to decode the code.

There is no way to fix this issue until you have used this:

 UserManager.VerifyUserTokenAsync(userId, AccountLockedOutPurpose, code).WithCurrentCulture<bool>();


.WithCurrentCulture () - used in all methods like ResetPasswordAsync etc.)

Once burned 2 days on this issue, here's another reason why this might happen to you.

In your Startup.cs service - ConfigureServices (IServiceCollection services) make sure that:

services.AddAuthentication

Appears BEFORE

services.AddIdentity

Otherwise, calls to VerifyUserTokenAsync will always return false
