Not using SHA or MD5 as these are one-way hashes - ie you cant get the
origional password from the hash.

I'm not sure if james will use a symetric encryption algorithm for password
storage.

So i believe the answer to your question is no.

I use a custom web app to manage username/passwords in a mysql database, and
i have added an extra column with the unencrypted password.
