I would add a note here referencing the steps are documented below

| > 💡You can check the `LastPasswordChangedDate` in the `aspnet_Membership` table to see which users did change their passwords or not after the date of that change. You may use that information to later delete users that may no longer be activivally engaged. Additionally you can wipe the `Password` field if you want to make sure no passwords with the old algorithm are kept (before notifying users about the change). | ||

I think this should be moved above the heading on line 117 to be with the section about changing from Encrypted -> Hashed.
