I am working on a project that has to have authentication (user name/passusername and password)

It also connects to a database, so iI figured iI would store the user nameusername and password there but. However, it seems like not such a good idea to have passwords as just a text field in a table sitting on the dbdatabase.

I'm using C# and connecting to a 2008 express server. canCan anyone suggest ( withwith as many examples as possible) what is the best way to store this type of data would be?

(i P.S I am open to the idea that this info not be stored in the dbdatabase if a good reason can be provided)
