Any suggestions of a "secure" way of storing membership passwords (for a
website) in a mysql database? Should I use sha, aes, des???
thanks,
 

Hi Luis,

try md5 encryption for passwords in your application and write 
md5-encrypted values to simple varchar/text fields in your db. you can 
find md5() in the php manual, there are also some examples in the user 
notes which can also be applied with other encryption methods (as I 
don't know whether you are using php).

Cherio,

Henning
