Before saving your password to database, use some of the encryption algorithm.
And while retrieving the password back use decryption algorithm. Save your key on some other place.
Refer http://nadarmuthukumar.blogspot.in/2012/04/encryption-decryption.html[^] for encryption decryption.

Right, a 5.
OP could be very much confused, might think you are talking about storing of the passwords. Right thing would be saying something like "Use cryptography, but not encryption" ;-)
