I asked the same question couple of weeks ago and all the answers I got
pointed to one way encryption. Actually, I had the same need that you,

password was made, send it to the user and ask them to change the
password at

Thanks, César,
But this is not an option that is negotiable for me. The client mandate is very
clear, and the reason behind it has a strong business case from their standpoint. I'm
not about to get them to change their minds . . . they and I have been over this way
too many times already.
Thanks, Peter,
Yeah, I had looked at ENCODE()/DECODE() and ABS_ENCRYPT()/ABS_DECRYPT() as possible
tools, as well as some inherent PHP functionality. My real question is more about
database design than about the mechanics of encryption. But I do appreciate the
feedback.
Make a good day .
