title: C# Encrypted Password
body: <p>I have a password field for a user, that when it is saved to a database, the password is encrypted.</p>
  
  <p>Also, if i go to edit a user, the password field is hashed.</p>
  
  <p>But the hashed field is hundreds of characters long, due to the length of the encryption.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way of showing maybe just 8 characters instead?</p>
  
  <p>this is what is displayed after saving, which isn't ideal.</p>
