Have you tried google ? What development platform are you using as this makes a difference.

Generally, storing a password is bad. Most people hash the password and store that in the database. When the user logs in you take the password they give, hash it, and compare this hash to what is stored in the database. Encrypting the password means you can decrypt it (recover it), encryption is 2-way. Hashing the password is 1-way, you can't recover the password from the hash. The SHA family are the most common (current) algorithms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1[^]

Have you tried looking at the Crytopgraphy Application Block within Enterprise Library. Why not download Entperise Library from MSDN and give it a go. Personally, I find the Crytopgraphy Application Block within Enterprise Library to contain more useful routines than what is available within in the .net framework.
