You shouldn't decrypt passwords. You can use all sorts of them however, md5, sha1, etc.

Yupe, Blaine is right. You could, but you should not. By decrypting, the password is much more vulnerable to be stolen. Hashing is the way you should do. Blaine had mentioned some popular hashing methods/algorithm. By hashing you calculate new value based on the password. The new value however can not be reversed, i.e. the original content is lost.

I don;t know which VB you are using, but in VB.NET I believe there is a library that provides popular hashing methods.
