[c#] What is the easiest way to encrypt a password when I save it to the registry?

This is what you would like to do:

OurKey.SetValue("Password", StringEncryptor.EncryptString(textBoxPassword.Text));
OurKey.GetValue("Password", StringEncryptor.DecryptString(textBoxPassword.Text));

You can do that with this the following classes. This class is a generic class is the client endpoint. It enables IOC of various encryption algorithms using Ninject.

public class StringEncryptor
{
    private static IKernel _kernel;

    static StringEncryptor()
    {
        _kernel = new StandardKernel(new EncryptionModule());
    }

    public static string EncryptString(string plainText)
    {
        return _kernel.Get<IStringEncryptor>().EncryptString(plainText);
    }

    public static string DecryptString(string encryptedText)
    {
        return _kernel.Get<IStringEncryptor>().DecryptString(encryptedText);
    }
}

This next class is the ninject class that allows you to inject the various algorithms:

public class EncryptionModule : StandardModule
{
    public override void Load()
    {
        Bind<IStringEncryptor>().To<TripleDESStringEncryptor>();
    }
}

This is the interface that any algorithm needs to implement to encrypt/decrypt strings:

public interface IStringEncryptor
{
    string EncryptString(string plainText);
    string DecryptString(string encryptedText);
}

This is a implementation using the TripleDES algorithm:

public class TripleDESStringEncryptor : IStringEncryptor
{
    private byte[] _key;
    private byte[] _iv;
    private TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider _provider;

    public TripleDESStringEncryptor()
    {
        _key = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("GSYAHAGCBDUUADIADKOPAAAW");
        _iv = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("USAZBGAW");
        _provider = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
    }

    #region IStringEncryptor Members

    public string EncryptString(string plainText)
    {
        return Transform(plainText, _provider.CreateEncryptor(_key, _iv));
    }

    public string DecryptString(string encryptedText)
    {
        return Transform(encryptedText, _provider.CreateDecryptor(_key, _iv));
    }

    #endregion

    private string Transform(string text, ICryptoTransform transform)
    {
        if (text == null)
        {
            return null;
        }
        using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(stream, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
            {
                byte[] input = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(text);
                cryptoStream.Write(input, 0, input.Length);
                cryptoStream.FlushFinalBlock();

                return Encoding.Default.GetString(stream.ToArray());
            }
        }
    }
}
