What I would like to know is if there is a way to encrypt a value so you can do a compare against a Password1 field. I have a need to store the last 4 SSN and I figured why deal with encryption contexts when all I would like to do is store the value encrypted and just compare to it by encrypting the value I want to compare in the same way.
I hate to be the "me too" guy, but did you ever figure this out? I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. I may have to dismiss the password1 field as worthless and just use password2.
What's the point of storing a 1-way password if I can't do this?
I concluded that the Password1 field type was worthless from my perspective because I could find no way to encrypt the value and then compare it to the Password1 field value. I did find that I could use GlideEncrypter to encrypt the value and compare it to a Password2 field. But you can just get the decrypted value of the Password2 field and do a compare in clear text between the two values also.
If you are working in a Scoped app things are even worse.
