Using C# 3.5 in Visual Studio 2008, I have developed an ASP.Net application that is currently in use.  I am using the Membership provider.  I chose ââ?¬Ë?Encryptââ?¬â?¢ for the PasswordFormat.  I know I can use the GetPassword method to retrieve the password but it is in the encrypted format.

I need to be able to convert the encrypted password into clear text for two reasons.  First, I would like to be able to email the use the current password (ââ?¬Ë?Forgot Your Passwordââ?¬â?¢ feature).  Second, I would like to be able to automatically log in a user (like using a GUID as a method of identifying a user).
