Question

I seen this question Encrypting/Hashing plain text passwords in database

and i am aware i shouldnt do md5(“salt” + password); and i see an implementation in python for a solution.

Is there a .NET built in function with params i can use instead of writing my own?

Check out FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile

string hashMD5 = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(Pass + Salt, "MD5");

string hashSHA1 = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(Pass + Salt, "SHA1");
