IsValid(string, string, string)

Checks if a decoded password matches its hashed representation using the provided salt.

Declaration

public static bool IsValid(string decodedPassword, string hashedPassword, string salt)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	decodedPassword	The plain text password to validate.
string	hashedPassword	The hashed password to compare against.
string	salt	The salt used for hashing the password.
