Hi-

I am brand new to asp.net and have a basic question. For my website, we will be using one-way encryption to store passwords. I know how to create usernames and passwords through the asp.net website configuration tool. But is there a way to automatically create them? In another application I wrote, in basic asp, when a record was created in tbl_example, it generated a username and password in Tbl_Users. There was no encryption however. Is there a way to do this so it can generate the encrypted passwords? Thank you.
PS. I use sql server 2000 and the visual web developer.

Thanks in advance!

hi there.. you have controls that will do it for you.. like the login, create user and others...

take a look at them...

Those don't meet the original posters requirements Gaurav, they stated that they wanted a One Way encryption algorithm, both blowfish and Base64 (though not really a good algorithm for hiding things) are 2 way.

As gonzalo said, look at the built in controls to achieve this, it will speed up your production time.

And here is a link that should get you started in the right direction:

Also, if you are looking into doing it by hand you can look into salted hashes. Help on that can be found on microsoft's MSDN site.

You can try here for that.
