In a system that stores user credentials, we must pay careful attention to how we store passwords. We must never store passwords in plain text. That’s why we use hashing. Hashing a password means applying a one-way encryption algorithm that will produce a cryptographic string. One-way encryption can’t be decrypted, making it impossible to infer the original password from the hashed string. Now, we have to pay close attention when Choosing a Hashing Algorithm As more and more computational power becomes available to the general public, hashing algorithms considered secure enough for password storage in the past became insecure. This is due to hackers being able to breach them via brute force. Some examples are the old MD5 and SHA algorithms. We must never use these for password hashing. On the other hand, there are a few other hashing algorithms that are safe: PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) BCrypt/SCrypt or Argon2 In this video, I will use the PBKDF2 algorithm as it is available natively in the .NET framework. Unlike MD5 or SHA, this one enhances password protection to brute-force by adding extra complexity. FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA! ►►   / marinko-spasojevic   ►►   / codemazeblog   ►►   / codemazeblog
