Re: NETELLER does encrypt passwords
Passwords are almost always stored in an encrypted form using a one way hash. User enters their password, a one way algorithm is applied resulting in a new value (which is the one that should be stored), and there is NO way to take the encrypted form and restore it to it's original. On login the same algorithm is applied to whatever the user entered and that encrypted value is compared to the stored encrypted value.
If neteller stored their passwords properly there would be no way for employees to browse customer passwords at will.
