I need to be able to compare another password submitted against the
one in that field. How would I go about doing that? What functions are
available in web2py for this.
db.define_table('pass',
SQLField("password", 'password', readable=False, label='Password',
requires=CRYPT()))
I.e. I have just submitted a form that contains a
request.get_vars.password
how do I compare that password against the one in db.
