PWDENCRYPT (Transact-SQL)

[!INCLUDEtsql-appliesto-ss2008-xxxx-xxxx-xxx_md]

Returns the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] password hash of the input value that uses the current version of the password hashing algorithm.

PWDENCRYPT is an older function and might not be supported in a future release of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. Use HASHBYTES instead. HASHBYTES provides more hashing algorithms.
