Here's an explanation of each policy type: HashAlgorithm:: - Passwords are not stored clear text. Instead they are hashed using standard hashing algorithms before they are stored or validated. + Passwords are not stored as clear text. Instead they are hashed using standard hashing algorithms before they are stored or validated. The only built in and default algorithm available is PBKDF2. See the link:{{book.developerguide.link}}[{{book.developerguide.name}}] on how to plug in your own algorithm. Note that if you do change the algorithm, password hashes will not change in storage until the next time the user logs in.
