Verify password not working

I have tried it before in previous versions, but it didn’t work out. I’m trying it again and it doesn’t work out. The error is seen below.

SaltParseException: Invalid salt version
BCrypt.Net.BCrypt.HashPassword(string inputKey, string salt, bool enhancedEntropy, HashType hashType) in BCrypt.cs, line 633

In the documentation, it says to use this but it doesn’t work out. BCrypt.Verify("my password", passwordHash);

As a workaround, I had to separately store the hash and then compare it instead. Hope to be able to fix the Bcrypt.Verify bug as it makes the code much cleaner.

var userSuppliedPasswordhash = BCryptPasswordHash.HashPassword(<user password>, <salt>);

if (storedPassword.Equals(userSuppliedPasswordhash)){
...
}

The only way that exception is raised is if the first char isn’t $ and the second isn’t 2 as that’s the mark of bcrypt
