I was just going through one of DavidHayden\'s articles on Hashing User Passwords.

Really I can\'t get what he is trying to achieve.

Here is his code:

Answer 1

In answer to this part of the original question "Is there any other C# method for hashing passwords" You can achieve this using ASP.NET Identity v3.0 https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework/3.0.0-rc1-final

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
using System.Security.Principal;

namespace HashTest{


    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            WindowsIdentity wi = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

            var ph = new PasswordHasher();

            Console.WriteLine(ph.HashPassword(wi,"test"));

            Console.WriteLine(ph.VerifyHashedPassword(wi,"AQAAAAEAACcQAAAAEA5S5X7dmbx/NzTk6ixCX+bi8zbKqBUjBhID3Dg1teh+TRZMkAy3CZC5yIfbLqwk2A==","test"));

        }
    }


}
