The best way to encrypt plain text passwords is to use a secure hashing algorithm such as bcrypt, scrypt, or PBKDF2. These algorithms take a plain text password and turn it into an encrypted hash that is much harder to crack. The algorithms also add a salt to the password to make it even harder to crack. It is important to use a strong hashing algorithm as weaker algorithms can be cracked relatively easily.
