Answer 1

We use C#'s SHA1CryptoServiceProvider

print(SHA1CryptoServiceProvider sHA1Hasher = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
        ASCIIEncoding enc = new ASCIIEncoding();

        byte[] arrbytHashValue = sHA1Hasher.ComputeHash(enc.GetBytes(clearTextPW));
        string HashData = System.BitConverter.ToString(arrbytHashValue);
        HashData = HashData.Replace("-", "");
        if (HashData == databaseHashedPassWO)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        });
