title: What hashing algorithm does Windows 10 use to store passwords?
body: <p>I have recently been taught about hashing in A-Level Computing and wondered if I could write a program to hash passwords using the same algorithm as Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>The reason I want to use the same algorithm as used to store passwords in Windows 10 is because I would like to compare the hashed value I generate to the value stored by Windows.</p>
