I have a User class. For simplicity let's say this class has 2 members: username, password.

The encrypted password is stored in the database.

Would you store the plain text password as the value of the password string? or would you store the encrypted value as it is in the database?

password = "mypass"
vs.
password = "23lkfsdf9823lksdfi23kjsdf"

( that is supposed to look encrypted

)
