Hi
Store your passwords encrypted in the database not in clear text. If you wish to use PL/SQL have a look at the DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT package. Bear in mind key management can be a headache. Have a look at my white papers section at http://www.petefinnigan.com, there is a link to a paper on there that discusses key hiding and encryption of data, I don't have access to my site right now to remember who wrote it but you will find a link on there.

Kind regards
