Just how are you going to decrypt it? Password encryption is ordinarily
one-way - you have no choice. You have to compare encrypted passwords.

SI want to compare a password to a encrypted password stored in my mySQL
database using password('password'), what's the best way to compare the two?
Encrypted the password sent by the user and compare or pull the password
from the database based on username, decrypt it and then compare?
