It's hard to tell since he didn't say why he wanted to do it in the
first place.  The problems with the learn password option are that there
is a window of vulnerability (unlikely to be exploited) and that he may
not wish users to choose their own passwords.  He may wish to force strong
passwords on his users, in which case learn password would be totally
unsuitable.

As somebody else reminded us, this guy has asked questions avout the
password hashing before and received rather comprehensive answers which
he apparently either ignored or could not understand.  So I have my
doubts that any sensible, rational, logical solution will suit him.
He appears to be like the guy who locked his keys in his car and spent
an hour using a bent coat-hanger inserted down the window seal to jimmy
the lock so he could let his family out of the car...
