The PlatformPasswordUtils API provides actions for validating and securely storing passwords in the database, compliant with established cryptographic practices. This is accomplished through actions that enable you to:
- generate a salted password and hash it using the MD5 hash algorithm (deprecated)
- generate a salted password and hash it using the SHA512 hash algorithm
- validate a password against its salted hash
Summary
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| GenerateSaltedMD5Hash | Salts the password with a fixed number and hashes it using the MD5 hash algorithm. |
| GenerateSaltedSHA512Hash | Salts the password with a 32 bytes random number and hashes it using the SHA512 hash algorithm. |
| ValidatePassword | Validates a password against the expected salted password hash. |
Actions

The password salted and hashed with MD5.
GenerateSaltedSHA512Hash
Salts the password with a 32 bytes random number and hashes it using the SHA512 hash algorithm.
Inputs
- PlainTextPassword
- Type: Text. Mandatory.
The password to salt and hash.
Outputs
- SaltedSHA512HashPassword
- Type: Text.
The password salted and hashed with SHA512.
ValidatePassword
Validates a password against the expected salted password hash.
Inputs
- PlainTextPassword
- Type: Text. Mandatory.
The password in plain text. - SaltedHashedPassword
- Type: Text. Mandatory.
The expected password, salted and hashed.
Outputs
- IsValid
- Type: Boolean.
Returns true if the password matches the given salted and hashed password.
