Changing PasswordFormat From Encrypted To Hashed
Feb 9, 2011
I'm finding surprisingly little information on converting an existing database from Encrypted passwords to Hashed passwords. (I was able to find a bit more information on converting the other way, but it wasn't of much help.)
As most people know, changing the passwordFormat setting in web.config only affects new users. I have a database with a couple of hundred users and I'd like to convert them to use hashed passwords without changing those existing passwords.

I've taken over a website which has around 3000 users registered using the standard asp.net membership provider on a SQL database. When the website was set up there were a lot of gaps in the system and we have a lot of tidying up to do of users with the same email addresses etc and invalid addresses so i'm just starting to look at how i can wrap all of this up and make administering the user accounts easier.
At the moment the account passwords are stored in "Hashed" format set in the web.config and obviously this doesn't allow for password retrieval. I want to know whether there is a way of converting all of these passwords from a hashed format to an encrypted format thus allowing me to create a password recovery page that doesn't then send the user a new password which is quite often something like "a*ns7#<3lx"
Ideally i'd like to convert all of these if that is possible so that I do a much simpler password retrieval system. If this is not possible can you tell me how i go about setting the passwordreset value not to contain all sorts of non-alpha/numberic characters?

I have an ASP.NET application that requires impersonation as an administrator user. In web.config:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="administrator" password="password"/>
The customer complained about saving the password in clear text format. Is there a way to save the password here as hashed?

I have a system where I salt and hash passwords before saving them to the database, using FormsAuthentication in asp.net
What I want to do is, rather than ask the customer for their password each time, I just want 3 random letters from their password. How can I compare this to the hash in the database? Will hashing still work in this case? From what I gather hashing is only designed to be a one way process and shouldn't be decrypted, so is checking 3 random letters for a hash even possible?

I setup a website to use hashed passwords with the membership provided by Asp.net. I'm looking for a way to convert all passwords to clear text. Hashed passwords are overkill for this site and many users can't figure out how to cut and paste the complex temporary password when they request a forgotten password. I understand that you can't retrieve a hashed password.
<membership defaultProvider="CustomizedProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="CustomizedProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
applicationName="MyApplication"
connectionStringName="MyConnString"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
requiresUniqueEmail="false"
passwordFormat="Hashed"
minRequiredPasswordLength="5"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>
</providers>

I'm using a website as a frontend and all users are authenticated with the standard ASP.NET Membership-Provider. Passwords are saved "hashed" within a SQL-Database.Now I want to write a desktop-client with administrative functions. Among other things there should be a method to reset a users password. I can access the database with the saved membership-data, but how can I manually create the password-salt and -hash? Using the System.Web.Membership Namespace seems to be inappropriate so I need to know how to create the salt and hash of the new password manually.

So as the title suggested, I'm currently trying to compare the hashed answer in my database against the answer typed in the textfield by the user in the form.
I thought of hashing the answer in the textfield typed by the user first, and after that compare this newly hashed answer to the one in the database (which is already hashed). But when I typed in the SAME answer (before hashing) and hashed it to get the hashed value, by right the 2 hashes (in web form and database) should match? Somehow, it didn't. And I can't seem to get security answer right anymore (even though I typed the SAME security answer).
This is the code behind the button:

I tried in another way too, but still the same thing.

I have a web form, which is to allow user to reset their password. When I clicked on the button, I got this error
"Input string was not in a correct format."
The code behind the button is:

When the user types in the new password, this new password will be hashed upon clicking the button and saved into the database.

I had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .

I have a very simple (rather stupid) question, I hope someone can clear my mind on this :)
I want to send an email to my site user once he clicks a button. This email will contain a link with the userID of a user in the link URL (as query param of a link).
Once the user clicks this email link, my server side code will parse and decrypt the userID query string key to get the user ID and perform some action on it.
I cannot use base64 encoding as it can be reversed and 'hackers' can get to know the real userID. I have to encrypt the ID but when I am using AES alogrithms for encryption, the encrypted text is not "understandable" by the browser, ie I cannot pass the encrypted userId text as a part of the URL because it contains un-encoded characters like "/" which the browser cannot by pass. One option I can think of is to base64 encode the encrypted text once I send it across via URL. Then I can bease64 decode and decyrpt it.
Is this approach better than using Uri.EscapeDataString() on the encyrpted text?

My aim is to make the web.config not readable by external users, but my application should be able to access it. Is there any way to do this?
I have tried the following way, but how to set the application to use string instead of web.config?
I want to encrypt my web.config file so that others do not open the file using any editor like notepad. But my application should be able to use the same web.config file. I could encrypt the web.config file and decrypt it inside the application and I saved the entire web.config to a string file. Now I want to use this string variable instead of web.config(now in encrypted form, which cannot be accessed by the application).

I am having a lot of trouble with WCF web service over SSL / HTTPS, so I was wondering if (as a quick fix) I could serialize the object, convert that to a byte array, encrypt the array, pass the encrypted array.
On the other side receive the encrypted array, decrypt the array, convert from the array and then deserialize the object.

I need to design two apps who can interact with each other. The first app, App A needs to send an encrypted string over to App B and App B will have to decrypt it and do some stuff. How would I go about that?
App A - http://MachineA/default.aspx
App B - http://MachineB/default.aspx
I tried encrypting the data using AESCryptoServiceProvider and it returns a byte[]. Now how would I transfer it over to another application? Via query strings?
http://MachineB/default.aspx?data=<<EncryptedString>>
Query strings does not take a byte[] parameter. So I am clueless now.
