You could always store the password as an md5 hash, and when a user
attempts to log in, hash their submitted password and compare it
against the stored hash. md5 hashes aren't perfect, but much safer
than storing plain text passwords in a Eu database, and take a very
long time to crack. I see this technique used in various PHP apps on
the web.
