How do I make AntiForgeryToken work with Orchard CMS? - orchardcms

Question

Using Orchard CMS 1.4.2, I'm having trouble posting a form in my custom module.
Here's my view:
#model ProfileEntity
<h2>My Profile</h2>
#using (Html.BeginForm("Update", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.FirstName)
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.FirstName)
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.MiddleNames)
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.MiddleNames)
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Surname)
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Surname)
<input type="submit" value="Save Profile"/>
}
In my Module.txt file, I have the line:
AntiForgery: enabled
When I try posting this form, I get an exception:
[HttpAntiForgeryException (0x80004005): A required anti-forgery token was not supplied or was invalid.]

I have also tried using:
#Html.AntiForgeryTokenOrchard()
instead of
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
(I'm not sure of the difference)
but it gives the same error.

Look at one of dozens of example throughout the code of existing modules.
#using (Html.BeginFormAntiForgeryPost())
