The required anti-forgery cookie "__requestverificationtoken" is not present.

Question

Problem :

I am using the Membership.create user function, then a below error is occurring:

“The required anti-forgery form field "__RequestVerificationToken" is not present”

How can I resolve above error?

Answer 1

If you have a [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] attribute before the action. Then you also should add a @Html.AntiForgeryToken() in the form.

OR

In my case, I had below code in my web.config:

<httpCookies requireSSL="true" />

But my project was set to not use the SSL. So commenting out that line or setting up a project to always use the SSL solved it.

OR

Please make sure that in your controller that you have the http attribute like:

[HttpPost]

Also add a attribute in a controller:

[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]

In your form on the view you have to write as below:

@Html.AntiForgeryToken();

I had the Html.AntiForgeryToken(); without a @ sign while it was in the code block, it didn't give the error in Razor but did give at runtime. So make sure you look at the @ sign of @Html.Ant.. if it is missing there or not

 OR

If anyone is experiencing a error for the same reason why I experience it, then here's my solution:

If you had a Html.AntiForgeryToken();

Then change it to @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
