Just for something quick and easy, I took the return value of sys(2007, "password") (the checksum of the password) and stored it to the user table. Then when the user logs in, I compare the checksum of the password they entered to what’s in the user table. Now this does have a drawback of not being able to recreate the users password if they forget it (maybe that’s not a drawback) but it is easy and somewhat secure.
