Hi.

For a school project, a new user's password was saved as Crypto.HashPassword. Now I'm trying to add option to change password, for that the user provides his current password and it compares to the saved, hashed one. The problem is, it keeps returning different hash for the same passwords. Does it use different salt every time? And if so how can I compare them?

Crypto.VerifyHashedPassword doesn't work.

    I appreciate your advice, but I was being an idiot and sending the wrong value to VerifyHashedPassword. After fixing it, I can confirm that VerifyHashedPassword does allow to compare saved and new password.

    Thanks.
