Nope...But you can easily hack DBMAN SQL to encrypt the passwords that are stored in the MySQL tables. Not too hard to do, other software, like VBulletin, encypts passwords when they are inserted into the User table.

But the encryption on the back-end is not a big deal since no one can actually get to the data itself via the back-end unless they know the username and password of the MySQL datbase and they know MySQL to query the tables.

The more important security risk to address is using SSL (Secure Socket Layers) to protect data transmissions across the net, since without SSL, hackers can install sniffers to take data from requests to your web server since data transmitted without SSL is transmitted in plain text.

That is outside the boundaries of DBMAN SQL...that is something that your webmaster needs to address, not you, as the designer...unless you wear multiple hats. Wink
