Custom verification of password in ASP.NET SimpleMembership

Question

I would like to verfiy a password, stored by SimpleMembership Provider. I have a website, made with ASP.NET 4.0 MVC using SimpleMembership and a backend admin tool made with ASP.NET WebForms 4.0. Due to the fact, that SimpleMembership needs ASP.NET 4.5, i would like to verify the login password by myself instead of updating the whole admin website to v4.5.

How to do that?

Just call Membership.ValidateUser(username, password)

Anyway, solved it with System.Web.Helpers.Crypto.VerifyHashedPassword – Christian Oppermann Jun 24 '13 at 12:44
Note that the Membership class is in the System.Web.Security namespace. This solution is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks! – Tim Jul 01 '14 at 14:47
