I wonder why most people still think passwords are being encrypted. They are hashed using a cryptographic hashing algorithm and not being encrypted.
ofcourse, some hashing algorithms like descrypt and bcrypt are based on the corresponding Block Cipher encryption algorithms.
@thorsheim: That's a good analogy
