Hello! I am trying to set MonoX to crypt passwords from clear to MD5. How can I do that? I tried to change passwordFormat to Hashed and hashAlgorithmType in <membership> to "MD5", but in SQL looks like is stored in Base64.

Thank you!

Hi,

You're right it's indeed encoded using Base64 encoding. If you look in the database password is of nvarchar type which is designed to store unicode characters while hash algorithms are working with byte arrays. My guess is MS decided to encode it to avoid any problems when storing and transferring hashed password. If you would decode password you would get hash byte array not plain password.
