Encrypting Passwords in a .NET app.config File
Problem
I want to store a password in a config file but i would like it to be encrypted so that in the app it can be read, decrypted and used. What's the best way to encrypt a password like this? Edit: I want to encrypt only password, not whole config, or whole section.
