I have a routine which pads the password to a fixed length of, say, 20 characters with a standard string of punctuation. I then take the ASCII value of the first character and use it as a seed for a RAND() function. I take the resulting fraction and multiply it by the ASCII value of the second character then take the integer value and use it as the seed for another RAND() repeating until the end of the string is reached. The final fraction is then multiplied by 10,000,000 and the integer stored. When a user enters their password I repeat the process and compare the result with the stored value. I defy anyone to recover the password from the stored value :-).
If you want the code let me know.
