Hi Jan,
Usually you never decrypt passwords; you encrypt them and store the encrypted string in the database.
When you want to check a password, you will encrypt again the user entry and you compare both encrypted texts. If they match, it is okay; if it does not, then the user entered a wrong password.
The next step is to concatenate the user password with a random string (called salt). If you use this technic, then 2 same passwords will not be encrypted the same way which is important if your database gets breached.

Subject: Encrypt and decrypt passwords via Pathscrambler
Good day all,
does anyone know a way to encrypt and decrypt passwords via the Pathscrambler itself? I haven't found anything about decryption in the documentation so far and assume there is no support for this for security reasons.
Thanks for any feedback.
Kind regards
