you can try using package
dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.desencrypt...
This will encrypt and decrypt data for you...
the only problem is if someone knows how to
run this package to decrypt the data he can
have access to passwords...
well you can have a look.
Let me know if someone have any better way
securing passwds after encrypting it.
Thanks.
