Re: How to validate passwords without storing them anywhere.

maybe add:
Select CASE WHEN DECRYPT_CHAR(Password_Encryption, 'Budweiser#01') =
'VALID'
THEN 'VALID' ELSE 'INVALID' END
from Security_table
where Security_id = 'ROB'

I'm a bit confused here:

If the user and password are for system users, why not simply ask the OS
whether the user-ID and password are valid?

Is this, rather, for, say, users of some web site or portal, unknown to
the OS?
