Encrypted Password

[caprice]

I am trying to use an existing customer table in our SQL database for another
Member-Only section of our web site, so they will share the same password as
the store. When I view the Customer table in Dreamweaver the password is
encrypted. For example a password such as 'train' is converted to FF56OORT and
the new login page that I make will only respond to the encrypted version of
the password not the orginal. Any ideas? Is there some code that convert the
encyrption? Thanks in advance.

That's how it's supposed to be.

You have to encrypt the entered password before comparing it with a
stored one. You have to use the same encryption method that was used on
the stored passwords.

If done properly you won't be able to decrypt the passwords.
