Custom password calculation

If you want to calculate the passwords in your own way, follow this procedure. You can find more information in the Customizing providers.

1. Create a new class in the App_Code folder.

2. Set the class to inherit from the UserInfoProvider class.

3. Override the GetPasswordHashInternal method.

4. Add the RegisterCustomProvider assembly attribute above the class declaration to register the provider.

       {
           return SecurityHelper.GetSHA1Hash(password + "CustomSalt");
       }
