Is there a better way to store data base passwords in web.config file rather
then having them on clear

Jay
 
Its a lot safer to hash passwords. The only time you can't do it is if you
need to be able to get the password clear text at one point or another, then
you have to encrypt.

So I have to write the Encryption / Decryption code ? Or is it a built in
function in .NET. Where do I store the key ? Do I hard code that into the
code ?. Should I just use a 3DES encryption ?

Thanks
