| FormsAuthPasswordFormat | serializable |
| System.Web.Configuration (system.web.dll) | enum |
This enumeration specifies the format that ASP.NET uses for
encrypting passwords (if you are using Forms Authentication and the
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationModule). It
is not used in ASP.NET code, but in the
web.config file by the
passwordFormat attribute in the
<credentials> element (for example,
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">). When
using any format other than clear, the
user's password is hashed with an appropriate
algorithm and compared to the value stored in the
web.config file each time authentication is
performed. No matter what encryption you use for the password,
usernames will still be transmitted in clear text.
public enum FormsAuthPasswordFormat {
Clear = 0,
SHA1 = 1,
MD5 = 2
