When you want to compare to the user input, hash the user input the same way then compare against the previously hashed value in the database.

This is real simple to accomplish in .NET. MD5 is a 1 way encryption, which, for passwords it isn't important to decrypt it. You simply match the MD5 hash to what is stored. Good luck. Kurt

Otherwise is better to delegate user access control to SQL Server (use Windows integrated security, SQL Server security or mixed mode, your choice!). This avoids the need to store username and passwords (or digests). Best regards This post has been edited by almogaver: 21 Mar, 2009 - 03:07 PM
