I want simple encryption and decryption of password in C#. How to save the password in encrypted format in database and retrieve as original format by decryption?

First create a class like:
public class Encryption
{
public static string Encrypt(string clearText)
{
string EncryptionKey = "MAKV2SPBNI99212";
byte[] clearBytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(clearText);
using (Aes encryptor = Aes.Create())
{
Rfc2898DeriveBytes pdb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(EncryptionKey, new byte[] { 0x49, 0x76, 0x61, 0x6e, 0x20, 0x4d, 0x65, 0x64, 0x76, 0x65, 0x64, 0x65, 0x76 });
encryptor.Key = pdb.GetBytes(32);
encryptor.IV = pdb.GetBytes(16);
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, encryptor.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
cs.Write(clearBytes, 0, clearBytes.Length);
cs.Close();
}
clearText = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
}
}
return clearText;
}
public static string Decrypt(string cipherText)
{
string EncryptionKey = "MAKV2SPBNI99212";
byte[] cipherBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText);
using (Aes encryptor = Aes.Create())
{
Rfc2898DeriveBytes pdb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(EncryptionKey, new byte[] { 0x49, 0x76, 0x61, 0x6e, 0x20, 0x4d, 0x65, 0x64, 0x76, 0x65, 0x64, 0x65, 0x76 });
encryptor.Key = pdb.GetBytes(32);
encryptor.IV = pdb.GetBytes(16);
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, encryptor.CreateDecryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
cs.Write(cipherBytes, 0, cipherBytes.Length);
cs.Close();
}
cipherText = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(ms.ToArray());
}
}
return cipherText;
}
}
**In Controller **
add reference for this encryption class:
using testdemo.Models
public ActionResult Index() {
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(string text)
{
if (Request["txtEncrypt"] != null)
{
string getEncryptionCode = Request["txtEncrypt"];
string DecryptCode = Encryption.Decrypt(HttpUtility.UrlDecode(getEncryptionCode));
ViewBag.GetDecryptCode = DecryptCode;
return View();
}
else {
string getDecryptCode = Request["txtDecrypt"];
string EncryptionCode = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Encryption.Encrypt(getDecryptCode));
ViewBag.GetEncryptionCode = EncryptionCode;
return View();
}
}
In View
<h2>Decryption Code</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<table class="table-bordered table">
<tr>
<th>Encryption Code</th>
<td><input type="text" id="txtEncrypt" name="txtEncrypt" placeholder="Enter Encryption Code" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<span style="color:red">@ViewBag.GetDecryptCode</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" id="btnEncrypt" name="btnEncrypt"value="Decrypt to Encrypt code" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
}
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Encryption Code</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<table class="table-bordered table">
<tr>
<th>Decryption Code</th>
<td><input type="text" id="txtDecrypt" name="txtDecrypt" placeholder="Enter Decryption Code" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<span style="color:red">@ViewBag.GetEncryptionCode</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" id="btnDecryt" name="btnDecryt" value="Encrypt to Decrypt code" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
}
Do not encrypt/decrypt passwords, that is a significant security vulnerability. HASH passwords, using a strong hash algorithm such as PBKDF2, bcrypt, scrypts, or Argon.
When the user sets their password, hash it, and store the hash (and salt).
When the user logs in, re-hash their provided password, and compare it to the hash in the database.
