Vlad Drumea does a bit of digging:
Back in June I wrote a post about SQL Server 2025’s new PBKDF2 hashing algorithm, in which I’ve mentioned that “I don’t yet have way to build the new PBKDF2 password hash from parts”.
So, almost 5 months later, after some more reading and a decent amount of trial and error, I finally have it.
That is some neat detective work on Vlad’s part.
