BCrypt Verify a Password (Check if Password is Correct)

See more Encryption Examples

A system that uses BCrypt for storing passwords would not store the actual password, but would instead store the bcrypt hash of the password. When a user presents the password, such as for login, call BCryptVerify to verify the password against the stored bcrypt hash.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.
