[c#] Hash and salt passwords in C#

This is how I do it.. I create the hash and store it using the ProtectedData api:

    public static string GenerateKeyHash(string Password)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Password)) return null;
        if (Password.Length < 1) return null;

        byte[] salt = new byte[20];
        byte[] key = new byte[20];
        byte[] ret = new byte[40];

        try
        {
            using (RNGCryptoServiceProvider randomBytes = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider())
            {
                randomBytes.GetBytes(salt);

                using (var hashBytes = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(Password, salt, 10000))
                {
                    key = hashBytes.GetBytes(20);
                    Buffer.BlockCopy(salt, 0, ret, 0, 20);
                    Buffer.BlockCopy(key, 0, ret, 20, 20);
                }
            }
            // returns salt/key pair
            return Convert.ToBase64String(ret);
        }
        finally
        {
            if (salt != null)
                Array.Clear(salt, 0, salt.Length);
            if (key != null)
                Array.Clear(key, 0, key.Length);
            if (ret != null)
                Array.Clear(ret, 0, ret.Length);
        } 
    }

    public static bool ComparePasswords(string PasswordHash, string Password)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(PasswordHash) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(Password)) return false;
        if (PasswordHash.Length < 40 || Password.Length < 1) return false;

        byte[] salt = new byte[20];
        byte[] key = new byte[20];
        byte[] hash = Convert.FromBase64String(PasswordHash);

        try
        {
            Buffer.BlockCopy(hash, 0, salt, 0, 20);
            Buffer.BlockCopy(hash, 20, key, 0, 20);

            using (var hashBytes = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(Password, salt, 10000))
            {
                byte[] newKey = hashBytes.GetBytes(20);

                if (newKey != null)
                    if (newKey.SequenceEqual(key))
                        return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
        finally
        {
            if (salt != null)
                Array.Clear(salt, 0, salt.Length);
            if (key != null)
                Array.Clear(key, 0, key.Length);
            if (hash != null)
                Array.Clear(hash, 0, hash.Length);
        }
    }

    public static byte[] DecryptData(string Data, byte[] Salt)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Data)) return null;

        byte[] btData = Convert.FromBase64String(Data);

        try
        {
            return ProtectedData.Unprotect(btData, Salt, DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser);
        }
        finally
        {
            if (btData != null)
                Array.Clear(btData, 0, btData.Length);
        }
    }

    public static string EncryptData(byte[] Data, byte[] Salt)
    {
        if (Data == null) return null;
        if (Data.Length < 1) return null;

        byte[] buffer = new byte[Data.Length];

        try
        {
            Buffer.BlockCopy(Data, 0, buffer, 0, Data.Length);
            return System.Convert.ToBase64String(ProtectedData.Protect(buffer, Salt, DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser));
        }
        finally
        {
            if (buffer != null)
                Array.Clear(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        }
    }
