Password digest contains four fields.
UserName
Password
Nonce
Creation Time Stamp.
Password Digest is calculated using combination of Password, Nonce value and TimeStamp.
Nonce is random generated number.
Password_Digest = Base64 ( SHA-1 ( nonce + created + password ) )
Example nonce 123456782017
timestamp 2017-05-23T12:49:29.006Z
Apply sha1 on appended value
then base64 will give Password Digest.
