Is this pretty much how it is? I would then assume the encrypted field in the table would then be much longer as a phrase is usually much more than a password.
Just a reminder that you should not be storing passwords, even encrypted. Better is to store a digest e.g. SHA. Regardless of the length of the password or passphrase, the digests are always the same length e.g. 256 bit/32 bytes.
