I see the issue of obscured passwords as one of helping the innocent passerby or sysop respect the privacy of an individual's password.
It's not something that is designed to stop someone with 'evil' intent.
The next User Manager will obscure the passwords in the User Interface, but not enrypt them in anyway.
