Solution 1

You have to encrypt the passwords while storing through your applicable to DB. And decrypt the password while you retrieve the password from DB to application.

You can use any well known encryption algo for encoding.

Mohammed, there is not possible to decrypt MD5 password, although indeed Wiki says that is possible. MD5 is known as 1-way cryptographic algorithm.
