and these table fields you seem to have discovered which appear to contain passwords - do the values look like alphanumeric characters that resemble passwords or are they a jumble of odd looking characters? Wondering if they're coded ascii values that you're trying to replicate. On a security scale of 1 to 10, password fields in table of your db is about level 3 (keeping out only the least knowledgeable) if encrypted, less if not. Sometimes I guess that's enough for the user crowd at hand.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
