Custom verification of password in ASP.NET SimpleMembership

Question

I would like to verfiy a password, stored by SimpleMembership Provider. I have a website, made with ASP.NET 4.0 MVC using SimpleMembership and a backend admin tool made with ASP.NET WebForms 4.0. Due to the fact, that SimpleMembership needs ASP.NET 4.5, i would like to verify the login password by myself instead of updating the whole admin website to v4.5.

How to do that?

Answer 1

Just call Membership.ValidateUser(username, password)
