In BC24 the codeunit 1266 "Cryptography Management" was updated to allow passing hash key as SecretText. However, it should also be possible to generate a hash for the SecretText value, which is currently not possible.

I fully agree. At the very least, there should be an option to use the lowest acceptable level of a hashing method that provides a sufficiently secure and up-to-date algorithm. Since this option is currently missing in SaaS, we cannot convert SecureText, which forces us to build custom solutions based on plain text — a much less secure approach than having proper hashing available.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team
