Instead I am curious how other developers on this list are returning the
MD5, password() or whatever in permanently encrypted passwords...
What are procedures and what is the way the return process work?
Any tricks/tips to share with all of us?
Cheers,
Maxim Maletsky

simple answer is no. the only way to decrypt the passwd is to run it through
a cracker. All admins are used to this and know that if a user has lost a
passwd that they are going to have to give them a new one, finding the old
just isnt work one week of processing time :)
Im curious to see how other php developers store their passwd's
-plain text in db
-use of unix password()
-use of db password()
-other ?
