In an ASP.net web application I have defined the following Membership provider in the web.config: <membership> <providers> <add connectionStringName="MyServer" name="MyServer" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" /> </providers> </membership> When I run the application in the debugger, the property Membership.Provider.RequiresQuestionAndAnswer is true. Why? And how can I fix this?

Per the comments on the question, the other membership provider might be defined on a lower level config file (applicationHost.config, or machine.config, probably the former).

Why they get confused together (as in some of the properties from one are applied over the other etc.) - no idea. Probably a bug in the membership provider.

Which in and by itself is more trouble than blessing in my experience.

Many thanks Ken! You're an encyclopedia, man :)  The second provider did come from my machine config. Please answer the question on Stackoverflow.com so I can accept it.
