Secure Password Hashing

Question

I need to store a hash of a single password in a .Net WinForms application.

What\'s the most secure way to do this?

In particular:

• Salt, HMAC,

Answer 1

RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate a random salt, then SHA512 the password with the salt, and finally store both the password hash and the corresponding salt if you want to later verify that some text equals the stored password.
