Password 1 vs Password 2

In the current environment we changed the user table password from Password 1 way to Password 2 way so that we have the option to decrypt the password to run verification that it meets the password standards when entered into the password field on the user form. When doing so it caused all authentication to of local users to fail if they changed their password.

Is there a way to tell the system to use the password 2 encryption rather than the password 1 for authentication?

We are running Fugi Patch 5.

Thanks

I have the installation exit set up for the end user when we check password needs reset, but this is for when you go into the actual user form and type in the password field. For that you have to run a business rule that can decrypt the password to verify it as far as we can tall.
