How to use PasswordHasher's VerifyHashedPassword method?

Question

I am trying to figure out how to use the VerifyHashedPassword method, and this is what I got so far. How am I supposed to know whether the password has been verified or not?

public bool VerifyPassword(string pass)
    {
        PasswordHasher passwordHasher = new PasswordHasher();

        HDA = new HWCDA();

        HWCE = new HWCEntities();

        string userPass = HWCE.AspNetUsers.Where(w => w.UserID == 1).Select(s => s.PasswordHash).FirstOrDefault().ToString();

        bool result = false;

        passwordHasher.VerifyHashedPassword(userPass, pass);

        return false;            
    }

Answer 1

The VerifyHashedPassword method returns a PasswordVerificationResult, which is an enum with possible values of Failed, Success, or SuccessRehashNeeded. You're not evaluating the result of the method at all. What you want is something more like:

var result = passwordHasher.VerifyHashedPassword(userPass, pass);

return result == PasswordVerificationResult.Success;   

You can check the MSDN docs.
