fenway Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 If you're asking what I think you're asking, the answer is no -- MySQL user passwords are encrypted with the PASSWORD() function, which uses a one-way hash. That's what makes them secure. I still don't understand _why_ you need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
