"It is not possible to reverse the password from a hash. ......." I think you got your answer above :) To Pepe Sasia :

“Hashes are useful as a one-way method to store passwords. …..”

“It is not possible to reverse the password from a hash. …….”

I think you got your answer above :)

Salted hashes only allow further authentication by comparing the hash, not by returning the right password. Basic hash theory. In implementation, Pepe, you shouldn’t be able to do this!

You can only compare if the hashs match. Reverisble encryption on passwords isn't much better than storing password in plain text, if you get the encryption key (for a symetrical encryption) then you have everyone's password. It's not an issue, is a feature by design... FYI, jeff Pepe,

How can I do that? Have you got this issue resolved? Thank you very much.
