The HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile method creates a hashed password value that can be used when storing forms-authentication credentials in the configuration file for an application.
Authentication credentials stored in the configuration file for an application are used by the Authenticate method to verify passwords for users of an application. Alternatively, you can use ASP.NET membership to store user credentials. For more information, see Managing Users by Using Membership.
