	Passwords are encrypted to prevent hackers as many people where getting hacked becuase passwords were not encrypted and any hacker could easily read in the passwords from the database.

	No, the field is one way encrypted, otherwise a hacker could get hold of the key to un-encrypt the passwords thus making the encrypted passwords useless.
