    Hi,

    I've a custom form with this workflow

    1. User insert his email and other data

    2. User click submit button and receive an email with a "link token" to confirm the request 1.

    3. User click on "link token" in email and validate the request. Now Admin can elaborate (approve/disapprove/request more info) the request

     

    How can implement the "token"? What is the best way? It's very similar to password reset token

     

    Thanks,

    progmr

      Typically you would just utilize a GUID for the token, but there are many different ways to approach it depending on security considerations, etc.

        I agree with David on this one... The world is your oyster and while a GUID would be great to start with, I'd actually suggest taking that a step further, depending on how much security you need to have built in.  It can be easy to dig yourself into a rabbit hole here, though.  

        At the core of this, you'll need to have and maintain a data table that contains the tokens you wish to validate against.  This table needs to be well-maintained, though.  For example, as tokens are used and/or become stale, they should be automatically deleted (for lots of reasons).  Then, wrap your DAL around the logic required to populate and maintain this table.
