Prevent re-use of prevously selected passwords

Hi Friends,

Have 2 queries and hence was wondering if you could answer them.

1 A form must be designed to prevent users from reusing
passwords that have been used in the last 12 months.

2 Also, since the password is stored in a Oracle table
as plain text, how can we encrypt it ?

Thank You,

Friend

p.s. am using Developer 2000 (Forms 6i) as an interface. :WAVE:

1. You could maintain a password history table to store older passwords for the users.
2. There is a DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT available in Oracle 8i and 9i
