I've been doing a bit of researching on storing login data securely and obviously the last thing you want to do is store the data in plain text. As I logged on to mint.com today I realized that in order to connect and download data from other financial institutions they must first give them the user's login data. I'm assuming that since not everybody uses the same method of encryption, they can't just send them their user's hashed password, but plain text or just using two way encryption. My question is how do they securely store this data if they are relying on two way encryption methods and is it possible to cheaply do myself?
