public String encryptPassWord(String password){    BasicPasswordEncryptor bpe = new BasicPasswordEncryptor();    return bpe.encryptPassword([password]) } public boolean checkPassWord(String newPass, oldPass){    BasicPasswordEncryptor bpe = new BasicPasswordEncryptor();    bpe.checkPassword(newPass, oldPass); }

Real easy to implement.

Returns a hashed string for storage. An additional method compares the already hashed string with a new string.
