Hi IMHO, you should never store password in clear If you store the last 5 crypted passwords, then you can make it comparing
the new password, crypted, to those 5 strings. Regards -- Christophe

[mailto:akpgeek@xxxxxxxxx] Dear all - I am
writing function to handle the passwords. Currently the crypt is being used to
store the password in the database. what I need to do is, when the user wants
to change the password, I need to check if that password is not being used before
up to 5 times, If not then then records should be inserted to the database. The
problem where i am running into, when I capture the password that user entered,
I can't compare to the one in database , because each time the function crypt
gives different one. Is there any way that I can achieve this?
Appreciate your help Regards |
