[FX.php List] FM accts vs. acct & password fields?

[Chris Hansen]

Not necessarily the case.  If you use PHP's crypt function (http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php 
) on the password before storing it in FileMaker, you've stored a  
value which can be checked against, but cannot be viewed.  Have a look  
at the function; very cool stuff.
