How to store passwords in a database (from security view?)

Question

Passwords can be stored as:

▪Plaintext
▪Encrypted
▪Hashed
▪Hashed and salted

I want to hear from experienced Web developers, how do you guys do this task?

If possible write down some syntax, and do share some links.

Thanks.

Jared Bird Thanks!

Answer 2

The hashed and salted is the best way as you don't store the actual password and its the hardest to reverse.
