title: Is there a built in function to hash passwords in .NET?
body: <p>I seen this question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/287517/encrypting-hashing-plain-text-passwords-in-database">Encrypting/Hashing plain text passwords in database</a></p>
  
  <p>and i am aware i shouldnt do md5("salt" + password); and i see an implementation in python for a solution.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a .NET built in function with params i can use instead of writing my own?</p>
