[Tutor] How to obfuscate a database password.

So I could do the folowing:
    Create a DB logon for each user that has permissions to just about
everything.
    Have them log on each time.
    This would require an application that they could manage their passwords.
    I already needed an application for managing permissions within
the application so I could just add a reset password to it, and adapt
it to using the database users for validation and keep my own tables
to track where the users can go in the app.


I guess that I was just thinking along the wrong lines for the design
of the login.
