You can use one-way encryption to encrypt the password and save the encrypted string in the database. This way nobody will se the password. If the user forgets the password he will have to change it. Check http://www.cryptix.org for a package that does it

Subject: Encription PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
Hi,
In my application(client/server) when a client registering to the system he
enters the username password and etc., and am just storing the exact values
in the database as it is.
I do know it's not appropriate as far as the SECURUTY is concerned.
Can anybody let me know is there any encription(oneway) method to store data
at the server end.
am using WINNT/ACCEES DB/JSDK2.1
future hopes to move into oracle DB
Thanks in ADVANCE.
TOM
