title: Asp.net Identity password hashing
body: <p>The new ASP.net Identity project has brought some useful code and interfaces for website security. To implement a custom system using the interfaces (instead of using the standard Entity Framework implementation included in the MVC 5 template) an <code>IPasswordHasher</code> is required.</p>
  <h3><code>IPasswordHasher</code> interface in ASP.net Identity</h3>
  <pre><code>namespace Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
  {
      public interface IPasswordHasher
      {
           string HashPassword(string password);
           PasswordVerificationResult VerifyHashedPassword(string hashedPassword, string providedPassword);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is it possible to use password salting for more secure encryption in ASP.net Identity and via this interface?</p>
