FormsAuthPasswordFormat Enumeration

.NET Framework 4.5

Defines the encryption format for storing passwords.

Namespace: System.Web.Configuration
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public enum FormsAuthPasswordFormat

	Member name	Description
	Clear	Specifies that passwords are not encrypted. This field is constant.
	MD5	Specifies that passwords are encrypted using the MD5 hash algorithm. This field is constant.
	SHA1	Specifies that passwords are encrypted using the SHA1 hash algorithm. This field is constant.

To programmatically configure the type of encryption used to store passwords in a Web application, use the AuthenticationSection class. This class is also used internally by FormsAuthentication in the processing of authentication tickets.

The following code example shows how to use the FormsAuthPasswordFormat enumeration. Refer to the code example in the FormsAuthenticationUserCollection class topic to learn how to get the collection.

            // Get the current PasswordFormat property value.
            FormsAuthPasswordFormat currentPasswordFormat =
            formsAuthenticationCredentials.PasswordFormat;


            // Set the PasswordFormat property value.
            formsAuthenticationCredentials.PasswordFormat = 
                FormsAuthPasswordFormat.SHA1;
