I am currently building a login process and decided to store my user password in database with a hashpassword combined with a salt. Just wondering what datatypes to store the hashpassword and salt is Varchar or NVarchar sufficient ?
EDIT : Link where I am basing this on
storing passwords in SQL Server
The hash of your passwords should be of uniform string length and represented as either hex or base64 text (or some other, single-byte-per-character representation.)
EDIT (You just need the char type per the uniform length of hash output!)
So char will suffice.
