title: How to encrypt and save a password
body: <p>I am working on the security issue in .net application and I have been reported that My code is vulnerable and I see the issue is the way I store the password </p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;add key="RegxxxChannelPassword" value="test"/&gt;
  &lt;add key="xxxRegistrationConnStr" value="xxxxxxxxxx;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So my tool was showing that storing the password in plain text is dangerous .</p>
  
  <p>So can I encrpt the password and save it?</p>
  
  <p>Can some one please suggest me if there are any algorithms?</p>
