How to Encrypt and decrypt Password to store db in MVC Entity Framework? Am using Following Code.Please anyone Help Me.

      [Required]
    [StringLength(15, MinimumLength = 8)]
    [DataType(DataType.Password)]
    [Display(Name = "Password")]
    public string Password { get; set; }

Best practice is not to encrypt/decrypt the password, you should hash it (and salt it)

• User signs up > hash password > store hash to DB

• User logs in > hash password > compare to stored hash in DB

This makes the password difficult to recreate if an attacker gets a hold of it.
