Hi Vasilis

I had the same problem as you, nobody answered to this problem. Good
news , it's not a bug, just documentation issue.
I found that the algorithm used before .Net 4 was SHA1 and from .Net 4
is SHA256 .

The solution for your trouble is to specify in web.config for membership
to use :
<membership defaultProvider="DefaultMembershipProvider"
hashAlgorithmType="SHA256">

HTH,
Paul
