I'll do this again then (server crashed just as I submitted)
for passwords you are better off using a one way encryption as in this thread333-849694 using a SHA256 Digest.
however for reversible encryption this article at 4 Guys from Rolla ASP encryption has some good info.
It works well but if you are going to store the encrypted data in a database you'll need to do some conversion because the encryption puts what are ASCII control chars into the output.

Thanks Chris,
I agree, logging into the site uses 1 way encryption but once there, I needed a way to crypt/uncrypt stored username/password. On one of the pages, I have bunch of web links to job boards and they all want different username/password. I don't want to store the info locally because I switch between machines.
