Create table with Encrypted passwords

Hello,
I need to create one table where i want to add records
with users and corresponding passwords but these passwords
must appear encrypted.
How can i do this? and if it is possible how can i decrypt
these passwords.
I need to do it but i cant put in risk the security of my
databases. Is it possible?

Best regards|||Hi,
The PWDENCRYPT and PWDCOMPARE functions are used to encrypt and compare DATA
passwords are not visible in anywhere in the database.
FYI, PWDENCRYPT and PWDCOMPARE are undocumented functions , so it can change
in future versions.
Sample code to create table and encypt the password column and usage:-
Create table users ( userid int identity (1,1) not null,
pswd varbinary (128))
-- INSERTING ENCRYPED value
-- hard coded string should be replace
-- by a text box value from screen
Insert into users values (PWDENCRYPT ('hari prasad'))
declare @.pwd varbinary(128) , @.chk tinyint
-- the dencryption phase
select @.pwd=pswd from users where userid = 1
-- comparing : 1 is success, 0 is not
select @.chk=PWDCOMPARE ('hari prasad',@.pwd)
if @.chk ! = 1
Print 'Wrong Password Entered! Try Again'
else
Print 'Login Successfully'
Do a check inside application , if the value returned is "1" allow to
login.
Thanks
