Thinking about embarking on a project with Umbraco - downloaded it and have been playing about and it looks really good.
However, the project that I'm looking to do is on a social network model, so it will involve many people signing up (ideally), and it will also involve some people paying for accounts with increased privileges.
I really just wanted to know what users thought on the Umbraco membership security? Has anyone had any issues regarding security that made them think they should have just built their own membership system?
About a month ago, I finished the devlopment of a site with full membership (registration, forgot password etc.), everything is based on .net membership functionality. We got different type of groups with custom fields for each of them. At the moment we got no problem or any security issues.
Follow that article, it's really good for starting up playing with .net membership.
I'd echo what the others have said, we've got several transactional sites that use Umbraco membership and so far we've not had any security issues. As its using pretty standard .Net membership code, its as secure as any other .Net site that uses the membership system!

Hey Ian,
Welcome to the forum!
Umbraco uses the standard ASP.NET membership provider.
If you need to you're also welcome to use any memberhip provider you want, or even build one yourself.
