Password are hashed not encrypted. Encrypted leaves the possibility of being decrypted, meaning all of them.

With a hash it is one way method for comparison and you have different salt for each, so it can be difficult to collide with all of them.

Only as small number of web up have recoverable passwords, these are the ones where the password is encrypted.

good point R_J. you may have hit upon why people can't find anything when they search for something.

"password encryption" - probably yields a search result.

"password encryption??" - probably not due to to 2 question marks

"password encryption????" probably not due to 4 question marks.

password encryption!!!! - as an aside searching for 4 exclamations marks may not work either.

probably the tip to take out of this: search for a few keywords in your proposed discussion title and you will probably find your answer.
