Calculate the password hash

The following C# code hashes the password with a salt derived from the login.

public static string GetPasswordHashWithSalt( string login, string password )
{
    string salt = GetPasswordSha256Hash(login.ToUpper());
    return GetPasswordSha256Hash(password + salt);
}

private static string GetPasswordSha256Hash( string password )
{
    Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding("UTF-16");
    byte[] buffer = enc.GetBytes(password);
    var cryptoTransformSHA256 = new SHA256CryptoServiceProvider();
    string hash = BitConverter.ToString(cryptoTransformSHA256.ComputeHash(buffer)).Replace("-", "");
    return hash;
}

Verify the password hash

The following T-SQL query recomputes the hash so you can compare it with the stored value.

Select Convert( nvarchar(255), HASHBYTES( 'SHA2_256', N'myPassword' + Convert( nvarchar(64), HASHBYTES('SHA2_256', UPPER(name) ), 2) ), 2)
