#### Parameters
<dl><dt>  <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">String</a></dt><dd>The plaintext password to be hashed.</dd><dt>  <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.byte" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Byte</a>[]</dt><dd>A random value used as an additional input to the one-way function that hashes data, a password or passphrase. This is used to make each output different for the same input thus adding security.</dd><dt>  <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.object" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Object</a>[]</dt><dd>Optional constructor arguments for the <a href="T_CapyKit_IPasswordAlgorithm.md">IPasswordAlgorithm</a> implementation instance.</dd></dl>

#### Type Parameters
<dl><dt /><dd>The type of <a href="T_CapyKit_IPasswordAlgorithm.md">IPasswordAlgorithm</a> implementation to use.</dd></dl>

#### Return Value
<a href="T_CapyKit_Password.md">Password</a>  
A new <a href="T_CapyKit_Password.md">Password</a> object with the given password and salt, as well as an instance of *T* created using the provided constructor arguments.
