Reversibly encrypted passwords in SQL

[Jan Mulders]

I'd also like to do this - although non-reversable encryption (like
MD5) would suit us - eg, password is encrypted in the table, and is
encrypted and compared when a user's password is checked.

How is encryption meant to be done in the MySQL module at all?
