Hass Pass

The attachment contains the HashPassword tool.

Tool Description

This visual tool generates the hashed password using either SHA1 or MD5 hashing algorithm depending on the choice you make. It will display the hashed password in the read-only text box, it can also copy the hashed password to a clipboard of your choice for easy paste operation.

Where do we need this

Forms Authentication in ASP.net. I was working with the Forms Authentication mechanism provided with ASP.Net. My users were limited, so I decided to have the user name and password combinations on the web. config file which will support passwords in clear text and hashed. Obviously, my decision was for hashed passwords. I searched for the tool to generate hashed passwords but the search resulted in a void, so this tool was born.

You might find other places of need also.
