I would think that the simplest solution would be to store the result of a one-way hash of the password instead of the plain text. Then just pass all login attempts through the same hash and compare the results. If the correct password in entered, the hash will match. If not, they don't . Enter the hash result, when it get hashed again, the result will not match the stored value.
I seem to recall that there was an osax that implemented an SHA-1 hash function. (Wait a minute...)
enscrypt40 is the osax I'm thinking of. It's free to use the hash.
