Password encryption

As far as I know the best way to keep a password record is encrypted using md5 or whatever else your database system has.

But what about when the password is stored in cookies?

What language do you use?

If you are using php, you can use md5 there too.

I knew that. The problem is that if I use the md5() function to encode a password that will be held in a cookie, then it will be easy to be decoded by a programmer

Would it be more secure if u wrap the pass with md5 and then sha1 or something?

What you could try is first encode it using your own algorithm, then apply the MD5.

Yeah that would be more secure
