I have a need to store a user's password in a configuration file:
- the password should NOT be in plain text.
- the password should be decryptable so that we
don't have to ask the user each time (as per
the common Unix crypt ideal).
Any ideas? There's always the cheap sort of rot13, binary, decimal sort of
madness, but I was looking for something a bit more "hard to deciper at a
glance". I know the inherent risks with having a decryptable, but I'll take
those over the obvious risks of plaintest stored passwords.
Thoughts?
