Once you’ve encrypted a piece of information, the natural instinct is to think in terms of decrypting it at some point. But the SHA() function is a one-way encryption with no way back. This is to preserve the security of the encrypted data—even if someone hacked into your database and stole all the passwords, they wouldn’t be able to decrypt them. So how is it possible to log in a user if you can’t decrypt their password? You don’t need to know a user’s original password to know if they’ve entered the password correctly at log-in. This is because SHA() generates the same 40-character code as long as you provide it with the same string of text. So you can just encrypt the log-in password entered by the user and compare it to the value in the password column of the mismatch_user table. This can be accomplished with a single SQL query that attempts to select a matching user row based on a password.
