I’m starting a new ASP.Net application from scratch. What should I use to encode passwords and what should my column be?
Just a simple varchar(512)? Thanks for any advice.

Well, if you’re using SHA1 you’re hashes are only going to be 48 characters long, so 512 is overkill.
I use SHA 256 with a salt.
