Password MySQL

The way I under stand it, passwords are encrypted or codified by the login page, then the hash is sent to the DB for verification. If they match the log in is successful. What I want to know is, if there is there a spot in Dreamweaver 8 where the encryption method can be specified?

Probably it has an error of programming.

Passwords are recorded in data bases, never encrypted, but, yes,
codified. ( sha, md2, md4, md5, crc, etc... hashing ).

When an user enters a password, and this uses one of these processes of
codification to be recorded in the data base, the entered password must
be compared with this codified value.

The form used to get the password, must have a routine of conversion for
the used hash and, this hash is what must be verified!

And now, it makes sense for you?
