u can musk it in the time of coding only.Inspite of doing it in the installation time,u can musk it while u validating user and create setup.It will automatically mask the password. U can use ncrypt before saving into database and dcrypt while reading from database. I have given the code below for your reference: clsPwdCrypto objEncrypt = new clsPwdCrypto (); //' clsPwdCrypto' is the dll i have used for this purpose if (objEncrypt.dCrypt(dr[ "usr_vch_Password" ].ToString()).ToString() == txtPassword.Text) { //reading from database } //Following code musk your password. string ncrypta =( Convert .ToString(objEncrypt.nCrypt(txtPassword.Text))); //Ur password now musk into string ncrypta. Save it in databse.
