title: Is Forms Authentication Hash machine dependent?
body: <p>I'm planning to use this piece of code in my Asp.net app</p>
  
  <pre><code>string strUserInputtedHashedPassword = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(tbPassword.Text, "sha1");
  if(strUserInputtedHashedPassword == GetUsersHashedPasswordUsingUserName(tbUserName.Text))
  {
     // sign-in successful
  }
  else
  {
     // sign-in failed
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is the Hashing machine dependent... In the sense, If I create some users in my development machine in my development DB...  Once I post both DB and Application to production environment with the user table, will the password for the users be same...</p>
  
  <p>Hope I made my question clearly... Otherwise, please let me know..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
